The World Race, the 9 month journey to 3 different countries I will embark on on the date of September 4th 2015. I am so beyond excited for this trip I stayed up until 4:30 a.m last night watching videos of past racers who have made videos about their experience. I am excited for reasons not of my own experience, but for others. I am answering the call of God for this trip not to better myself (but I do know that comes along with it) but I am doing this to glorify Him around the world. On this trip I will be faced with home sickness, real sickness, jet lag, infections, meals that will make me question not to eat ever again, unclean water and many other disadvantages. You think I want to do this?! You must be crazy if you do, I have to store all my medications, toiletries, tools, books, electronics, a tent, a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, a pillow, and other miscellaneous items in a 70 liter backpack for 9 months, you must be crazy if you think I wanna do this.
At times this scares me to a point where I sometimes reconsider doing this trip, but I always hear a voice telling me “This is not for you”. I know what that voice means. It means I should not take this trip to be looking for new experiences and taking a year off of further education. This trip is to share God’s glorious name with people who have never heard of Him. In Malaysia sex trafficking is one of the highest in the world. I know God wants me to go there and help support those who were victims of that awful monstrosity. I know that with the trip God will break my heart after seeing how the world truly is, but I have to keep in my mind that the only reason God is allowing me to go on this trip is to share his word and to make him known. This adventure will be crazy and I will need to be in constant prayer to keep me sane and safe on this trip. I can’t wait to share my knowledge of Christianity with people from around the world. Thanks for taking time out of your day to read this and have a great one!
