Discovering the World Race was like stepping in bubble gum. It followed me from the morning I woke till I clocked out from work. I couldn’t get the burning idea out of my mind. It consumed my prayers, my thoughts, my words and soon my actions.
Since graduating high school I knew I wanted to be apart of a missions trip. There came a point where I decided the only way I was going to follow that dream was to simply begin. Believe it or not that was the hardest part! Stop thinking about this and just do it already..
I found the World Race thru Google when searching for “Adventurous Missions Trips” because that’s what I wanted. Something adventurous that would combine three things I am deeply passionate about. God, His people and traveling the world. Since getting accepted I have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I daydream about what God has in store, smiling and even laughing yet only to find myself later pulling over to the side of the road because the tears become too much to handle. “God what am I doing?! What have I got myself into?” -Careful what you pray for.
Although I’ve experienced moments of doubts and sadness from what I’ll be leaving behind, I march on because I WANT THIS. I believe God gave me a servants heart and a wild soul that thrives to explore and go beyond ordinary. He will protect, He will provide, He will comfort. I was born to do this, and so I go.
Your prayers mean the world to me. Thanks for reading! I’ll be posting weekly.
PS- For those curious, my team of about 50 launch June 28th! And the photo attached is of my wonderful supporting parents who helped me get to this point. Couldn’t do this without their love.
