team and I will be going on in 7 months that I haven’t felt before. I guess I’m shocked and
excited and… woah! This is big.. so much bigger than I am. And I know I
am not prepared or cut-out for something like this. But perhaps that’s
why I’m going. Because God knows what is in me and He knows I’m
ill-equipped; He knows I am dust.. And because of this I must rely on
Him for EVERYTHING pertaining to the World Race and life. And I can hold Him to
His promise from 1 Thessalonians 5:24:
“He who calls you is faithful, He will surely do it.”
I must cling to His faithfulness, not to mine. Am I faithful apart from Him? For what am I or what do I have without Him. Is He not my everything? Can I do anything apart from Him? There is freedom in trusting in Him and not relying on myself. And there is peace in taking the weight of this off my shoulders and placing it at His feet. 1 Peter 5:7:
“Casting all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you.”
Each person who comes to the cross has a calling from the Lord, a calling too big for any one of us to carry. But in Jesus Christ we are made victors! In Him we can do anything! And it’s an exciting life to live 😀

My expectations for the world race aren’t necessarily specific and detailed. But I know because God has gone before me in this, it’s going to blow my mind and change my life. When He calls and you follow, there’s no way you’re going to be disappointed. Though the path is narrow and rough, the destination is always worth it, more so than we can imagine! My desire (though I am prone to wander, He is faithful to bring me back) is to be His hands and feet knowing that it is He who wills and works in me to do good. And by His will being worked through me, He will receive the glory due Him. That is what I desire from the world race. (:
