Up until now my conversations with people about The World Race have been fairly easy, exciting and encouraging. But now….things are not as easy and encouraging. The transition has been made from the fun- woohoo that sounds amazing, to the- this doesn’t sound safe and I’m concerned.
I am the luckiest girl ever for several reasons. I have an absolutely amazing family who loves me so much that they are worried sick for my health and safety. I also have a God who loves me even more than them and who will take care of my health and safety.
My relationship with God and the passion and fire that He has lit underneath me, and my excitement for this incredible journey has outweighed the worry and concern. I know that I’ve been called to do this and I know that God has way bigger plans for me than my tiny eyes can see.
Talking about my faith is so much easier to do with people outside of my family. With my family- it’s the hardest thing ever. I get super emotional because this means that much to me and I just want them to see the bigger picture.
Father God my prayer to you today is this: I pray that you would lift the fear, the worry, the doubt and concern off my family’s shoulders. I pray that you fill that hole with your love, grace and strength. I pray that you would bring them a sense of peace about The World Race and that they would lean on you for answers and strength- that they would place their faith in you just as I have. Thank you so much for blessing me with all that you have, especially the things I take for granted on a daily basis, and thank you so much for sending your son, Jesus Christ- my savior. Amen.
