The World Race has already begun to shift my perspective on life. I have yet to step foot out of the United States and God is already teaching me, moving me, changing me. The prospect… no, the reality that I will soon leave everything I know.. that I will give up many things I love.. that I will turn my back on the plan I set for myself.. that reality is full of question marks and it is terrifying. BUT that reality is energizing…. it is exciting. For the first time ever I am leaving everything up to God. I am letting God have complete control.
At twenty years of age, I am beginning the stage of my life where I have a lot of choices to make.. choices that will affect every aspect of my life.
For the next year, I choose to abandon life as I know it for a life that is no longer about me and what I want. I choose to sacrifice my comfort, my time, my energy, my plans, and my money to live a life of service.
I am humbled by the fact that God chose me to be His child… that He has redeemed me and made me new.
I am humbled by the fact that He would use me to further His kingdom.
I am unworthy but in Him I have worth.
I am dirty but He makes me clean.
I am weak but He is my strength.
To God be the glory forever, Amen.
