I have struggled and prayed so much about writing this first blog post and that is why its titled “Okay, God”. These two simple words have so much power. This phrase is the acknowledgement to say sure God do whatever you like with my life, its acknowledging that you are fully surrendering your life and trusting him to lead you where he wants you to go. It’s saying okay God my comfort zones belong to you and I’m willing to grow and be stretched and strengthen my relationship with you, even when times get hard and when we can not rely on our own strength. This simple phrase has been on my heart for the last nine months and apart of my everyday prayer life which has lead me to where I am.
I heard about the World Race when I was about 18 and started looking in to what it was all about, and very quickly I found out that you had to be 21 to attend. I thought what a bummer and just sorta brushed the whole thing off and never really thought about it again, however a couple months after I turned 21 I started to receive emails from the World Race and began to feel the small tugs at my heart that I was supposed to attend. After several months of praying I felt God more than ever telling me that I should go, it took me a few months after that to decide that my response was going to be “okay, God”. I questioned and had many doubts but I know that this is what God has called me to for this season of my life and I will continue to trust where God is leading me and continue to say “okay, God”.
I am more that excited and thrilled to be starting this journey. I will be updating my blog every so often up until I leave in August and then you can follow me and see my adventures while I am away. I can not wait to share this experience with all of you through my blog.
XOXO
