Well here it goes… Ill keep this first blog short and sweet. Putting into words what God has done and is doing in my life currently has been challenging to express at times. The thought of where he is about to send me next year is still crazy to think about. My relationship with God over the course of my life has had many ups and downs. I have been blazing on fire for God and I have been in low dark places where God and I hadn’t talked in ages. Even in those dark times I have always known that Gods plan for life is greater than anything I could ever want for myself. I have always felt called to do the Lords work but I have always ran from it for whatever reason. The time of running away are done and now I run forward out into the world with his direction for my life.
It’s no secret that our world is in turmoil and is only getting worse year after year. What is even crazier to think about is that there are still billions of people in the world that have never heard the name Jesus. People that have never felt his love or compassion, his mercy or his grace. In times when we need Jesus the most it seems like the world is doing everything in its power to distract people from Jesus and that’s in areas of the world where they know the name. As years go by the idea of being a Christian becomes more laughable by many people in our own country and all over the world. It seems ok to be anything in this world except a Christian and to be honest it really bothers me. I truly believe we are in the end times and that it is our job as Christians to raise up as many warriors for Christ as possible, to add as many people to the kingdom of heaven, and to do our part to make a difference in this world by any means necessary. I say to God send me I’ll go!!
A few months ago I was really frustrated because it seemed like every time I turned on the t.v or talked to somebody it was always about these terrible things going on in our country and all over the world. I knew that I wanted to get out there and try to make a difference but I had no idea how to or where to even start. After daily conversations with God I finally got my answer. I remember randomly coming across the World Race and adventures in missions. I have a good friend that went on missions trips through adventures in missions but the world race stood out to me. The next several hours I looked up everything on the world race. Later that week all I kept hearing in my head was the word go, go,go and if you want to make a difference in the world first you have to go out into the world. I told God that if this is what you want me to do Ill do it. I am a firm believer that doors will open and shut when they are supposed to in your life.
I applied to the 10/40 region route of the World Race. Stationed in 11 countries for 11 months in some of the most unreached places in the world when it comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was hard to fathom that I could potentially be leaving the country for year to share the good news to people all over the world. I had to wait what felt like forever before I got the answer on if I was excepted to the route. In reality it was only two or three weeks ha but I was just so anxious to know. When I got the call that I was approved I was a little in shock and still today it is crazy to think about. I said yes to the World Race because when God says go, you go. So in August of 2018 I will be leaving the country and embarking on this new journey.
I will be in Spain,Morocco,Jordan,Israel,Cyprus,Georgia,Armenia,Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,Mongolia,and China. I have no idea what to expect but I do know God is going to show up in ways all of us could have never imagined. I look forward to sharing my journey and sharing everything the God does with all of yall. I ask for your love, prayers, and support. Talk sooon.
