Trying to navigate this world without God seems crazy now that I have been saved. For the longest time I sought to do life the way I wanted and the way I thought was right for me. I gave no acknowledgement to my creator and the blessings he has bestowed upon me.
I always had dreams and things I wanted to do in this life. I thought my plans and my way of doing things was the best. Once I stopped ignoring Gods call on my life I became aware of the fact that He is a better director for this life than I am. Who better to go to for direction than the creator of everything?
I always wanted to travel and see the places and cultures I read about in magazines. If I would have planned y travels without God I would have hit the typical tourist spots and maybe met some locals and backpackers but that would have been the extent of it. The World Race has taken me to places I always dreamed of going but in a manner that brings Glory to the Lord. Rather than being a tourist I am doing life with the people native to the country. I have the opportunity to see the heart of each culture. Adding this relational dynamic to travel allows me more opportunities to share what the Lord has done in my life and in turn what he can do in these communities. Living in this manner brings about a change in me because I know that I am an example of a follower of Christ to those who meet me. I am constantly more aware of my actions and thoughts because I want them to glorify God. The whole objective is for my life to make non believers curious as to what it is that is so great in my life. The answer to that obviously being Jesus!
I am still in need of financial support to make my final deadline. I miss home but I am not done with this trip yet and I know that God has work for me to do in Africa and Europe and more things for me to learn. Please help me by donating to my fundraising account.
