So a few weeks ago I came home from training camp on fire and ready to go on the World Race. I was ready for God to use me and eager to grow closer to Him. I began taking my opportunity to go out into the world and spread His word for granted. Therefore, my reasons for wanting to go on the Race became selfish reasons.
I returned from training camp on a high note, and almost immediately God challenged my reasons for wanting to go on the race. Was I really doing this for God? Did I actually want to further His kingdom, or were my reasons for going only self-glorifying? Is this just what I wanted to do? Many questions went through my head the next couple weeks. I just wanted to forget about the race.
However, He wouldn't let me! After spending much time in prayer and the Word, God filled me with a sense of assurance. I now know this is what I am supposed to do! God has given me peace and that has made me excited to go once again! I can say now that I truly desire to do His will, even if it means that I have stop everything and leave everyone that is important to me. And through all of this I have learned to try and stay focused on what He has to say and not let my ego get in the way. God is absolutely amazing! And even amidst all the frustration in our lives, if we trust in Him wholeheartedly, He gives us the peace and strength we need to carry on!
Also, as of training camp my route has changed! We are now no longer going to India, Nepal or the Ukraine. But instead we are going to Albania, Bulgaria and Malaysia!
Thanks for reading!
