This is real. It’s no longer just talk about me going on the World Race, nor is it me preparing to soon leave on the World Race. I’ve been at launch in Atlanta, GA for the past couple days, and now the time has come. I get the privilege to launch out to be the hands and feet of Christ with 55 other people on my squad!
Sitting in the hotel room last evening, I was reminded of the song I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus; (x3)
No turning back, no turning back.
Though I may wonder, I still will follow; (x3)
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me; (x3)
No turning back, no turning back;
Though none go with me, still I will follow; (x3)
No turning back, no turning back.
Out of obedience, I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS no matter what the cost, and embark on this World Race journey which He has called me to. There is NO TURNING BACK now! I’ve been reminded once again at launch that this journey is not about me at all, but rather this trip is about following the calling that God has placed in my life and allowing Him to use me as a vessel for Him—serving Him however and wherever He wants.
So, as surreal as it may seem that it’s really happening, I’m ready to dive in full force. In just under 2 hours our entire S-squad will be heading to the airport for Quiche, Guatemala where we will be serving at Agape in Action, Inc. for the next several weeks.
Please keep us in your prayers—for safety, unity, strength and ultimately that God would show up and use us to serve those He has called us to serve for His glory.
Until next time … from Guatemala!
