What has called me to do something so extreme??? An 11 month , 11 country trip relying totally on the Lord and following his will….
I have spent the better part of life thinking I needed to be popular or have lots of friends. I have always had to have the newest tech gadgets or trendiest clothes,
but it never really made me happy past the first five minutes. I have been spoiled with earthly possessions my entire life and yet, I yearned for something more.
Not long ago I was at a function and a question was asked of the group…
” What would your life be like if you TRULY believed Jesus loved you. That he loves you for you, he still loves you with all he is despite anything and everything you have ever done, or have yet to do. He knows all your thougths, struggles, and striffs yet still has unfailing love you YOU”
I am so selfish and self-centered …
God truly loves me and look how I repay that love.
I lovingly call these frying pan moments, when I am so busy trying to control my own life and God hits me over the head with a frying pan to get my attention.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also Matthew 6:21
In March 2010 I went on my first international mission trip with a group from my church. I was humbled beyond words. God used India and the amazing people there to show me what true faith and dependence on him looked like. I came home renewed and ready. Ready for what ever God was prepairing me to do. I knew the life I was leading before was gone and there was no going back…
I found my heart in India, a desire to serve and love those in need. To share the love of Christ
I stumbled onto the world race web site thru another blog site and could not tear myself away. I found myself at my computer glued to the racers blogs and updates. This was a movement I had to be a part of. So I prayed and listened and after a few months and a few life adjustment here I am.
I am so excited to see how God is going to tear me down and build me back up again on the race.
