" Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter– when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:6-11
This verse is my hearts cry!
I am a 22 year old senior at the University of MS. I am majoring in elementary education with a concentration in science and English. In August of 2010, I went to Haiti with a group of adults. While there, a team from the World Race stayed at the Global Outreach compound with us. One afternoon, one of the guys from the team walked up to me and explained that God had told him to tell me that I was suppose to go on the World Race. From that day forward, I have been praying and asking the Lord if the World Race was what God had for me in the near future. God is truly amazing in how He works! Now, here I am creating a blog for the World Race. I could not be more excited about the journey that's ahead. I know it won't be easy, but God never promised it would be easy. He did promise us a straight and narrow path! I am excited to see what God does in and through my team! I am ready to experience the deeper things of God! John 16:33
