I look at this new year with great excitement! God has placed on my heart such a strong urgency to make this year far beyond what I could ever imagine. I desire this year to be a year of opportunities. There is definitely a hunger in me to see God on an entirely new level than I have ever experienced before. The World Race has been an amazing experience so far and I haven’t even left yet. It has been teaching me about the strength of God, his deep love for me, and his faithfulness. It’s absolutely beautiful. Tonight in worship, I raised my hands and surrendered to everything over to God. A huge smile came across my face and his presence overwhelmed my heart.
There is something unbelievably satisfying when you are in line with God’s will for your life. I am finally confident with where I am in life and the direction I’m going. I feel free. I am free of worry or guilt. God’s presence is so strong and I know it is only going to grow.If God is calling you to go, he will make a path for you every step of the way. It is the greatest lesson I have been learning. It’s been extraordinary. My passion for what God is doing in my life has been overtaking my everyday routines. The WR is the first thing I think about when I wake and the last thing on my mind when I go to sleep. People ask me how I have been or what I am up to lately. I always respond with work and World Race. I love it so much already.
I am looking forward to meeting my teammates. I feel like we are so close already, like family. God is definitely going to bless Route 2 and I can.not.wait. to see what huge impacts we’ll have on each other’s lives. May can’t get here fast enough!
Fundraising has been going okay.Its a slow creeping pace but I have absolute faith $15,000 will be here before I know it.:) On my bedroom door I have posters giving God praise for his promises for my race. Hebrews 12:1 has been my foundation through out this journey so far. It says “Lay aside every weight and sin that clings so closely and run with endurance the race that is set before you, looking to Christ Jesus.” I’ll never forget the morning I heard that verse on the radio. I was driving to work and I was so discouraged. I was a wreck. I asked God to please help me. Not a moment later that verse was spoken and I burst into tears because God showed me He was listening and He wasn’t leaving. “Every promise has been fulfilled, not one has failed.” Joshua 23:14. It is verses like those that I stand firmly on everyday. I trust in those promises with all my heart.
God is showing up in mighty ways. 2012 is going to be an extraordinary year. I can feel it. 🙂
