Well I know the first blog post should be more along the lines of who I am, why am i going, how has God brought me to this amazing journey called the World Race and in the next couple of blogs I will get to all of that. I mean why ruin the suspense right now? 
Plus, I am not the most interesting person so I think its important for me not to share everything in one or two blogs. I mean we got one whole year together!!
Right now I want to share a new story or a new chapter of my life. I'd rather write about how God will use me and my fellow Racers and what we will be doing. I think that is way more interesting than what I do in my spare time!
I know it might sound strange and I can't really find the right words to express what I am saying, but here it is simply put: I have had a good life for the most part, but really the people who live in the countires I will be visiting have not. And, you know what? I am sure many of them are the happiest people at times.
11 countries 11 months and many, many hearts and spirits in need of God's love and ours, I'm in and I am going all the way! I am tired of the everyday living and routines and I just want to risk it all for God's Glory. I feel the fire of passion. It burns so much for me to go and serve and help those who need Jesus because they need love and a friend too.
Jeremiah 24:7
7I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.
