As my time is coming to an end here in Morocco, many people ask me what I will do next year after The World Race. “Hey Emily, What will you do after next year?”
This is a constant question. But how can I answer it. I. CAN’T.
I have no idea what I will do after my time on The World Race.
And I don’t want to have an idea of what I will be doing after next year. I don’t want to plan anything because it is not up to me. It is all up to where God leads me. How am I to plan out where life will take me when I am following the calling He has placed on my life.
Next year could change everything. I might find that I fall in love with a certain country or I might find that I fall in love with every country. There is no telling what next year will bring and that is one of the many blessings God is putting on my life. Which leads me to my expectations for next year. I really only have two expectations that deal with CHANGE.
1. I want to be changed. I want to see myself change and I want to see my relationship with God change. I want to rely on Him and see the change He can do in me. I want to push my comfort zone and grow in my relationship with God. I want to be able to form relationships with people and hear their stories. I want to see how the world can change my world.
2. I want to have an impact.
I know I cannot change the world and I do not expect to. But I know that I can help impact the world by forming relationships. I want to be there for people and do my part in possibly changing someone’s world.
I don’t want answers. I just want to listen. I want to follow what God has placed on my heart for next year and for whatever He has planned for me after.
On another note. Here is a little video made by a squadmate that shows a little more of what we will be doing next year while we are in Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
