Why?
“Why the World Race?” is a question I’ve been asked a lot, and a question to which the answer changes as my launch date gets closer and closer. God has changed my heart in so many ways, but ultimately, I want to be part of what He is doing.
I want to experience God’s heart; the way it longs, the way it hurts, the way it loves, the way it learns, the way it waits, the way it perseveres. I want to be more aware of Him and the way He romances me. I want to spend time learning how to love like He loves, how to receive His love, and how to love Him. There has not been a time in my life that I have ever chosen to rely on Him and Him alone. I have been surrounded by comforts of a home, comforts of a job, comforts of a family. I am stepping out in faith that He will provide and protect me through this journey. I am choosing to love Him.
I want His heart more than I want anything else. Some may think this is going to extreme measures, but when has God ever been mediocre? When has there been a time where He is okay with the mundane? I long for adventure, and what greater adventure is there than the adventure of living a life fully alive in Christ?
So, to put it plain and simply, I want to tell my story and give God glory and praise for how He has transformed me. In the states, sometimes the good news isn’t “good” news. Sometimes it is frowned upon for someone to be vulnerable; for someone to tell their story. Sometimes, it takes a kingdom journey to learn that it is okay to be vulnerable. Sometimes, it takes a kingdom journey to release the grip of the enemy on your life and on your mind. And that kingdom journey starts with a choice.
I am choosing to tell people the good news, about my good good Father.
