Okay y'all..this is becoming REAL LIFE. I am really LEAVING FOR 11 MONTHS in LESS THAN 5 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! The other day it just hit me. And I LOVE it. Even though it's super overwhelming most of the time, I have to step back and thank God for this incredible, once in a lifetime opportunity.
I think that it officially "hit me" when I spoke at my parents church last weekend. I was so blessed to have the opportunity to share with Mountain Home First Christian last Sunday at both the contemporary and classic service. I was extremely nervous, but so pumped to share my passion about the World Race to my parents church fam. First I showed the WR promo vid that is on their homepage, and then I got up and spoke about what I was going to be doing in September. I don't know if anyone else has tried to speak after showing that video, but HOLY COW it was rough. That video is amazing, and pretty much sums up my feelings on the World Race. Anyway, it was def. the Spirit speaking through me. I got such a positive response from the people of MHFCC. I just wanted to give a shout to them right now and say how blessed my fam and I have been since starting to attend there about a year ago. I know God is going to do great things through them while I prepare to go on the race, and while I am on the field. God is ready to bless them through me.
As I continue to prepare for the race the same verse keeps re-playing in the back of my mind…
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. -Philippians 4:6 The Message
