I found out about the world race through my roommate, Erica Denton. (Look her up, she just left in July)
And through much stubbornness, prayer, and more stubbornness I accepted the journey that God was calling me into. After filling out the application, having my interview, and putting my deposit in, God's peace rested on me and hasn't left since.
Some have called me crazy and out of my mind, I even lost someone very close to me because of the decision I made to leave for 11 months and to abandon myself to the Lord.
Am I crazy? Am I out of my mind? I'm going to leave the comfort of what I know as home for 11 months, my friends, boyfriend, family, my dance team, MY MOM!, with a bunch of strangers, going around the world telling them about a man named Jesus.
Sounds like craziness to me…..
I need a little craziness and unexpectedness.
I have thought of 11 things I want to happen on this Trip.
1. Stop being so High Maintence
2. Learn to fish like a pro
3. Ride some kind of exotic animal
4. Be able to be around a spider and not spaz out
5. Bungee Jump!
6. See a Lion
7. Find my identity in Christ
8. Lose my need to people-please
9. Dance in Africa
10. See God heal someone
11. Truly, fall in love with Jesus
Continue to keep me in your prayers. Because GOD knows I need it.
BAM!
Ms. World Racer, Emily Sutton.
