Alright. So originally, I was going to wait to post my first blog so that I could make a video, but unfortunately, I haven't had much time to do that. So written shall be my first blog.
For starters, if you'd like to know a little about me, check out my about section. That gives a little insight into who I am and why I am going on the World Race!
So here's the point where I dive into where I'm at right now. Actually, if I'm being literal, I have an exam in 20 minutes. Of course, the good news is, it's not really an exam at all, just turning in a paper 🙂
Three days from now, I will be leaving for California for a week to do some research on Catholic churches along the coast with one of my professors and some fellow students. I've never been to Cali, so that's pretty exciting.
Then, in January, I will spending the month in Belize for a class. Just a little perspective.. The only place I've ever been outside the states is the Bahamas. So… The Lord is giving me the chance to visit Belize and go on the World Race. Now that's pretty stellar.
But then here's the deal: There's a little voice inside my head (that I know is not my own) saying: How are you going to raise the funds for the World Race when you just paid off Belize and still have to pay for California, plus you're spending a whole month away and won't be able to fundraise?
But it's then that I draw near to my God, he draws near to me, and I am able to boldly say:
Get behind me, Satan.
My God knows what He is doing.
My God is preparing me for things I can't even dream of.
My God is my Father and wants to give me good gifts.
He is my provider.
Blessings!!
