Why am I going on the World Race?
If someone had asked me to do this a year ago, my response would have simply been, ‘No.’ I have thought about possibly doing international missions in the past, but every time, I came up with excuses about why I shouldn’t do it: I am not ready; someone else will do it; who will support me; I will do it later in life; what if something happens; or this isn’t for me. I can give you many more excuses, but that would take forever.
I knew what God was calling me to do, and yet I kept ignoring that call and tried my own course of action. I was pursuing interests that I thought were best for me. I was focusing on myself and starting a new career. I had it all planned out.
But when the Lord calls, one can only ignore the call for so long. I felt like I was running away from my responsibilities. I knew I needed to stop, and so I did. I paused and prayed. I asked the Lord to lead where He needed me to be. I began looking at different missions organizations, trying to find the right fit. The last one I came across was Adventures in Missions and discovered that one of the mission trips covers 11 countries in 11 months, so I was curious and wanted to learn more about it. I watched one of the trailers, read some of the blogs, and, as I was learning more about it, tears started to flow down my face. I knew this was what I needed to do. I still had my doubts and concerns, but I no longer could say no. I have denied it for far too long. God has called me to go on an incredible journey; a journey that will push me to limits that I thought I could never reach. Christ’s love will be shown, and the hope that is Christ will shine in the world’s darkest places.
God calls His people where He needs them; everyone’s call is different. but, right now, God is calling me to go on this crazy adventure. I nothing else to say but yes.
Please join me on this crazy adventure!
I need your prayers and support.
Thank you!
In Him
