They say the first one is the hardest…so here goes nothing!
It’s been almost a month since I found out this God sized dream of the World Race was going to be a reality in January. [Insert scared emoji here] Amidst the to-do lists and welcome emails I have felt all the feels and prayed all the prayers it seems.
The one thing I continue to wonder is, Why Me?
How could God choose me to go on this adventure and use me in such a way that it helps people? How could God use my passions and gifts for the good of others…across the world? What is Jesus going to do in me in the next 8 months that’s going to be make me excited about pitching tents and eating weird animals, or worse, eating onions?
I have a lot of questions about this trip and most of them from my logistical brain.
Honestly, I don’t know all the answers (especially about eating weird things) BUT I do know that the Lord has called me to walk through this incredible gift and opportunity and that comes with promises. In Psalm 46:10, God commands us to “Be still and KNOW that I am God.” So here’s what I know….
I KNOW that God has a specific purpose for me and for every person I encounter along this journey (including you, yep, you too). I KNOW that the Lord equips those He calls which means He has a plan to use my love for crafts, organization, and love of water for His glory. I KNOW that my crazy desires to plan and prepare, to equip and encourage others, and to learn someone else’s story will all be used on this journey to clarify my love for Jesus and point other people to Him in some way.
I am completely uncertain of my ability to do this…but I am completely certain that God has the ability to do this thing called the World Race. I can’t wait to see this God-sized dream become a reality! Thanks for journeying with me!
