With the World Race approaching I keep getting the question,”What is your biggest fear going on the World Race?” I think about this question and I can’t come up with anything.
That’s ridiculous how could you not have any fears going into this trip.
Well for my entire life I have lived with my parents in a nice house in a nice community. I have luxuries within my grasp and I’ve live a very comfortable life. I’m rarely put outside of my comfort zone and if I ever run into trouble I know my parents will always be there for me.
Going into this journey I wasn’t exactly sure what I was getting my self into but I knew I was ready for a change. After I got accepted I started reading blogs of former and current racers and reading about different trials and struggles that they faced. I read about people getting sick, people getting stuff stolen, about vehicle breaking down, about races getting mad at their team, and more. When I read these stories I knew that this trip was for me. I knew it was for me because every story I read, through the all of the hard times, God came out victorious and he was glorified and the racer came out stronger. The trials that everyone went through had a lesson to be learned and they had to fully rely on God to get them through it. So I am ready to go on this race and go though struggles and get out of my comfort zone and suffer for Christ. I ready to get sick and get things stolen and have to be stranded. I’m ready for my parents not to be my backbone and not have to lean on them. Christ suffered for me to have forgiveness and eternal life, so I’m ready to suffer, by working to help grow his kingdom. I’m not saying these things don’t sound scary but I know that the Lord will come out victorious and I will have something to learn through the trials brought my way.
So. Do I have any fears going into this trip?
No. No I don’t.
