Why the world race? For the longest time I was fighting God’s Plans for my life. I wanted to create and be in charge of my own future. That plan obviously failed leading only to worry, frustration, and confusion. I was lost in the being an average person that was going to do average things. I’ve played soccer my whole life and wanted to play in college as well. I went to ID camps and played in showcases. I got offers and began getting excited. All the years of hard work finally paid off I thought. Then things started to get more confusing. I could’t choose which college I wanted to go to or what I wanted to major in. I applied to about 7 different colleges. Each college visit I went to something just didn’t seem right. It no longer seemed appealing to me. I was so confused and scared. All my friends knew what they were going to study in the fall and I here I am clueless. In January I went to the 2017 Passion Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Those four days changed my life. He lit a fire inside of me. He lit this fire and passion inside of me that I could not contain. I came to the end of myself and fully put my future in God’s hands. A few months after I still didn’t know the next step in my life but had an amazing peace. I grew so much in my relationship with Him in that time period. I was drawn to missions no program came about that I was interest in. Finally one day I was scrolling through Instagram and I came upon this post about the world race. I thought it looked interesting and checked it out. I felt this pull in my heart as I was browsing through the website. I knew this is where God wanted me to be. When I fully put my future in God’s hands he was able to not only direct my path but also mold me as a person and use me. My heart is filled with pure joy and happiness because my trust is in the one who holds me, defends me, restores me, and loves me.
