Why?
A response i got last week while telling someone i was going on the race. A question I’ve gotten asked often since sharing that ill be going on the race. Something I’ve had to stop and ask myself. Why am i choosing to live out of a backpack for 9 months? Choosing to leave home, my friends and family? But the more i think about it, the more simple the answer is. Its the call.
The call. Getting to the point of wanting to go on the race was because Jesus called me to. Ive always been a very indecisive person never knowing what was right or wrong, what choice i want to make. But when it comes to the race I’ve never felt more where im supposed to be. I have never felt so clearly directed by the Lord.
These 9 months are everything i want and more.There are so many unknowns but so many sweet opportunity’s. I get to travel and dive into a culture unknown to me right now. I get to love people deeply and share the gospel with only what i have on my back. I get to build relationships unlike any other with my team. I get to follow the call God has put on my life for this time.
So i am going on the race because of the call, a plan He has for me. I get to say Yes because what Jesus has for me is better then anything i can imagine.
