Chapter 2 of my 11n11 journey.
I’m going on the World Race!
Wait, what?
This is the moment where you all roll your eyes and dramatically sigh while closing out of this blog post, but just wait. Take a few minutes and read till the end.
I started this journey exactly a year ago. I applied, was accepted and hesitantly jumped in ready to somewhat abandon it all.
I made lists of what all I needed to do for fundraising, packing and blogging. It all was written down in my World Race Journal ready for action. But somewhere along the way my perfect world began to shift. The list slowly began to change as doubt leaked in.
I was GOING to go on the World Race and I was GOING to be completely fundraised in 6 months. I was ambitious or some would say naïve; however, it was all rainbows, butterflies and saving children. There was one thing I forgot or someone rather.
The enemy planted doubts telling me I should not go on the race, why I would not be provided for to go, why I was not equipped to go and why I am not worthy to go. Through this process, I have learned there is truth in these doubts. Real TRUTH. I am not able to do this by myself. However, I serve an amazing God and through Him I am able! In His love there is room for error, but He is calling me to a higher purpose.
I’m turning the pages and ripping them out. I am choosing to empty my journal, empty my hands and open myself to the Lord. I know with Him I am capable.
The page is turned and I am starting a new chapter. I have new vision, new excitement and new confidence in this mission. Things may not go as I plan them but I now trust that the Lord’s plans will prevail.
If you would like to be involved please pray. Pray for discernment, peace, confidence, and provision. I believe prayer is the key to reaching heaven. I would love to pray for you also. Please leave a comment below or send a message.
