Happy Monday!
If you know me, you know I love my family and friends. I love our traditions and camping trips (kind of) and Disney days and air conditioning and almost always having access to wifi or cell service. I LOVE my comfort zone. So when I was asked why I’m doing the World Race Gap Year I began to give it a bit more thought. Why this? Am I really qualified? Am I sure about this? That’s so far from home, won’t I miss it? What about school? Why don’t I wait?
Well, the only answer that came to mind is that I feel called. I felt God telling me to jump out of my comfort zone as fast as I could. I felt the tug to chase after every single opportunity to love Jesus and all of his people, which I believe is everybody, and to do that in every place possible. So, I decided to take some time away from school and apply for the World Race Gap Year. I may not be qualified right now, but I believe God qualifies the called. Of course I will miss home like crazy and I don’t know what God has planned for me after the Race but I am learning to trust his plan over my own every single day.
I might not have the best or most specific “why” but I know that God will reveal more and more about it to me throughout this journey. Thank you all so much for your constant support whether it has been through prayers, donations, or both. It truly means so much to me. I hope you all have a great day and I’ll talk to you all again soon.
Much love,
Kaitlyn (:
