Why the World Race?
Well why not!!! That was always my response to the “why” question. This is the perfect time for me to do something like this. I am young, I am not in my “career mode” yet, I don’t really have anything tying me down to the place that I am living. So, why not?
The most important reason that I have decided to go is because God has called me to go.
“Are you sure?”
YES! I am sure. There are many things that have been confirmed for me daily about my decision. God has used, more then ever in my life, His word to confirm His plan for me. One day I was intentionally praying for the trip, and the decision that hadn’t been made at the time, I was pointed to Psalm 20. Verse after verse God kept telling me yes ad to go!!
Another example is about the concerned, caring, protective mother of mine. I was apprehensive at first about how she would react to my desire to travel for a year, but after some time she got excited! Yes, my mom got excited and interested in this trip! I was so thankful!! It was a huge confirmation from the Lord, and a huge answer to prayer!!
Not to mention my supportive friends. My roommates, and friends and pastors, even a couple of people from my work have been supportive and excited for me! And what God is going to do with me!
So, Why the World Race? Well for one God called me, along with that I am so excited to go travel the world, and see His work around the world. To become His hands and feet to help the least of these! I am beyond excited about the community I will gain, and the friendships that will last. It is one year of my life where I get to go do the work, and explore His plan for my life.
I am going to be a Missionary!
