Send Me 

Send me, two words you should never say to God unless you are ready for his response. These two words have been my heart’s cry for the last several months, they are also the words that have lead me to The World Race…

I have never been more sure of two things in my life. One, change is coming and two it might be uncomfortable. 

Okay, well, lets be honest it is going to be uncomfortable and it will be painful. Yet somehow knowing all of this I still choose change. I still choose to walk forward not knowing all the details and not having all the answers. I choose to keep going even though it will hurt, even though I will be broken in the process. Why am I so confident to keep going? So confident to embrace change and continue on into the hot mess of the unknown; because I know that in the end it will all be worth it. I know that this life is not just about me, it is so temporary and my purpose in this life goes beyond just me. Its not about how successful I am or how many things I have or how many things I have accomplished. It’s not about solely achieving all of mygoals and desires.  I know there is more to my life and my purpose. My greatest pursuit is to please the heart of God. I want to be his hands and feet, I want to bring light to a hurting world. Christ showed us what true love looks like when he died on the cross for us, and it is this message of unconditional love and hope that I want to share with those he holds most precious to him, those who are  hopeless and seeking truth. It is for this reason that I have decided to lay down my dreams for a season, pick up my cross and follow God wherever he calls me to go. 

 

Starting January 2015 This is where he has called me to go…

I know that as I begin this journey God will use The World Race to prepare me for the doors of opportunity he will open in the future. I know that God is my provision, he is my truth, my shield and defender and even when it hurts, his pruning is necessary. Being completely broken before God and allowing him to strip away everything that does not belong in my life is hard but its through this brokenness that God will rebuild me causing me to be completely and totally dependant on him. It’s for this reason that I choose to go forward. I know that as I take these first steps into change the depth of my trust in God will continue to grow and he will continue to meet me where I need him most.
