As I’ve prayerfully considered going on The World Race: Gap year these past few months,
God has continually, and consistently, impressed one word upon my heart:
“Go”
And, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my eighteen years of life, it’s that-
When God tells you to go, you go.
Because, God works in unimaginable, beautiful ways when we are obedient.
Another thing I’ve found about being obedient:
It’s scary.
And, it rips us straight from our comfort zones with approximately zero heads up.
I am inadequate.
I am unqualified.
I am a broken person.
And, I am unbelievably humbled, each day, by God’s constant love and grace.
I am unbelievably humbled that God could use someone like me, on a journey such as this, to love others’ as He has loved me.
I am being blindly led by my Father into whatever the next year holds.
I hand my broken pieces over to him, trusting that he will do beautiful things through them.
He has continuously covered my fear and uncertainty with so much love and peace.
Through this, I have often thought of the story of Peter when he fearfully, but obediently, walked out to Jesus amidst the raging sea.
Jesus is always on the water, Jesus is always hovering over the chaos, and we must meet him where he is calling us.
I believe – more than I’ve ever thrown my heart into anything else – that this is His will for me. I believe that we will see the sick healed, souls redeemed by the love of Jesus, the hungry fed, hope restored, and the veil of depression and loneliness lifted all over the world.
“Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.” Habakkuk 1:5
I am so incredibly excited to follow God on this adventure, wherever He may lead me.
Thank you all for believing in me, and my ministry.
I hope to have your love and prayer throughout this entire journey.
