Today on January 3rd, 2013 I read in my Jesus Calling book by Sarah Young that God is not only with me but within me. This is something I have always known but never thought about in this way. "I go before you to open up the way, and I also walk alongside you." Upon reading this quote I began to think to myself what else could you ever need? God is seriously everything you could ever need. There is no other companion as devoted as he is. I do have a serious boyfriend and this has been a struggle for me to give up our future to go on the race but with God being my first love I have been called to follow his commands first. Thinking of God and my relationship in a romantic way there is no companion that can move mountains, that can give you peace, everlasting joy, or the love that is unconditional. It's crazy to me that we search and long for a companion our whole lives when we have the perfect companion, a companion that is better than any person already if we choose to except it. Something I love about this trip is that the closer it becomes the more God becomes to me, the more he is my companion, the more he is my excitement, my joy, my rock and everything I need. If I think about everything I need for the trip, everything I need to do etc. I can't do it on my own, only someone as big as the god of the universe could do this. Only a companion as great as mine could make me complete and whole. I have nothing in which I should worry about or care for more than him.
I bought my first big purchase for the World Race yesterday and it made me so excited and ready to go. I can't believe it's only 5 months away until my life is completely shook and my life is filled with an adventure I have only dreamed of. I would never want to take a journey this large and far without someone alongside of me such as the God of the universe.
