It starts with faith

I never imagine when I signed up for the world race back in March that this day Jan 2, 2010 would have arrived. I knew it would but I thought I had plenty of time to enjoy life, save money, spend time with family and friends and just prepare for the race. Well this day quickly sneaked up on me and I was not even close to being “prepared” in the ways I wanted to be prepared. Maybe I am but I can’t help but want more time. I want more time with my family. And I want more time to pray and think things through. But as I sit here on the plane to LA (first stop then New Zealand tomorrow at 7:30 pm) I have come to the conclusion that I don’t have time anymore. It’s here it’s now. This is the time for me to completely rely on God and I have never trusted my life fully onto God’s hands and this time I have no other choice.

 

Father forgive me for the times I relied on my own strength. If this year teaches me one thing may it be that I will anchor life in you and know I am firm in your hands. My life is not my own and for this is the reason I am leaving my comfortable home in Bradford, Ontario Canada because there’s a world in need of hope and I have this hope in me that is that Christ came to seek and save the lost. I want to the world to know the truth. I want the world to know you. So even though I can only see in part I will trust you and step out into this dying world and be the light, be the hope and be the salt of the earth. I may not be prepared in earthly terms but in your beautiful eyes I been doing my homework and lessons for 26 years. I WILL GO!
