I found out on March 19 that I was officially accepted to go on the World Race for September 2013 Route 1. I kept this to myself for a few days. I needed time for it to sink in. This was HUGE, lifechanging news. I never pictured myself as a missionary. I am a city girl who hates being dirty. A trip like this is definitely out of my comfort zone. I have always wanted to travel, but never imagined it would be like this. The funny thing is that when I found out I had been accepted, I didn't feel scared or nervous like I thought I would. I was just shocked. But in a good way. I was surprised that God was really calling ME to do this. I felt so priveleged that my heavenly father would give this kind of gift to me. I'm not a perfect Christian & I don't have it all figured out. I am still learning, growing, and making mistakes. I know plenty of other people that would be better suited for this. But God is choosing me instead. Wow!! It blows my mind! The beautiful thing is that I don't have to be perfect. God wants me here and now. I just have to trust and obey. THAT'S IT! He will mold and shape me along the way.
