Hey guys, thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. As you’ve probably already gathered, I have decided to pursue the World Race. This has been on my heart since my freshman year of college, but it was something that I pushed to the back of my mind deciding that it was all together out of reach.
A little over a year ago if you had of asked me what my future would look like, I probably would have told you I’d marry the guy that I was with and we’d live happily ever after. Despite the hurt the loss of that dream brought, I am so thankful God had a different story in mind.
This past year, God has given me so much joy, purpose and fulfillment during this unromantic season, and with that he has pushed me to believe that doing life with him means there is no such thing as a “pipe dream”
While taking a step back and praying for God to give me discernment about what is next, I felt like the realistic thing would be to go back to school for my masters, but the race was still there in the back of my mind, where I had left it all those years ago. God has blessed me with the reasoning that in this season there is nothing that makes more sense to me then to give up the comfortable lifestyle I have become so accustomed to, pick up my cross and share the Gospel.
Writing this, I can barely contain the jumble of emotions I feel. I am completely taken back that we get to serve a God who not only puts astonishing dreams in our heart but stands by us and provides as we pursue them.
With all that said, I need some help from you guys. In order to go on this journey with the Lord, I need to raise about $18,000 to cover my costs. I feel that it is equally important that I ask for your prayers, I know that God will continue to move mountains for his children. No donation is too small, and I am so tremendously appreciative of your support.
