For about 6 months I had thought about participating in the World Race. However, when I thought about it I would just push it to the back of mind because I thought there would be no way that God would call me to be part of it. I was wrong!
It was the beginning of summer and thoughts about the World Race just kept coming to my mind. For a few weeks I was stubborn and didn’t even want to think about it. The more I kept trying to push the thoughts off, the more I realized this is what God was wanting me to do. As I finally decided to be obedient and told God I would go where ever He wanted me to go I had so much peace about the decision. However, I wish I could say this was the end to my stubbornness.
I was planning on going to Senegal, Africa in January 2015 and I knew there was no way I could raise almost $3000 for that and $15,500 for the World Race. I was so set on going back to Senegal because I had built relationships the past two years with the people over there that I wanted to continue to build relationships. However, God kept making it very clear that I am not supposed to go back to Senegal at this time and so I dropped out of going to Senegal.
And so now I am starting to prepare to head out for 11 months in July 2015. I will be going to Albania, Romania, Malawi, Zambia, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile.
I am nervous and scared! I cannot wait to see all that God has in store for this. I know I will be out my comfort zone and this will be a growing experience but I am so excited to go!
