For the past couple of weeks I’ve been asked several questions, and what’s crazy is my answer is the same to all of them. Are you excited? YES! Are you nervous? Yes! Are you going crazy thinking about leaving your mom for that long? Absolutely YES!! My words are hard right now. I’m pretty sure I am feeling every emotion possible. I have doubts, doubts that I’m not strong enough to do it, that I’m not going to be able to make it without my family, doubts that I may not even like it. Although I am doubting things, what I am not doubting is that God is telling me to go. That alone is enough to reassure me that I am strong enough, that I can be away from my family for that long, and that I will absolutely love it. How can you not love something when you’re wrapped up in God’s arms doing exactly what he wants of you? Yes I made this decision, but in no way does it make this easy. I leave in 8 days, and that has finally become my reality. The World Race is my life for the next 11 months. I’ll be living completely out of my comfort zone, and with complete strangers for the next 11 months. That terrifies me, but also excites me beyond measure. All I ask of you is to pray for me! Pray for my team and squad, and most importantly pray that God will open the hearts of the people I will be in contact with for the next 11 months. Pray that our words will be the Lord’s, and that he will strengthen our hearts to be able to pour his love into all of the wonderful people he created.
