I have recently settled on a title and theme for my blog: The Inside Out. I wanted to share the reasons that I feel this is appropriate for my blog as I travel to 11 countries on the World Race.
As I have thought about the different topics I have been presented with as part of training for the World Race I have made an effort to make them true to my life, and what is really going on inside of me. I have put a great deal of effort into bringing that out as a real representation of what is happening. This has been a journey of self discovery. I did not realize when I began this task of blogging that not only would I be sharing my mission with people, but that it would help me to find myself. Through these past few weeks of blogging, I have been discovering more of myself. The first blog called This I Believe challenged me a great deal to search myself for what I find really important. Even as I was writing, I was finding out more about myself. Thoughts I never knew I had flowed onto my computer screen. This is the first process of me finding within myself what is inside and bringing it out to the surface. I hope that with each blog I write, that I can continue this process.
This is also the process of God working within me. He is changing me, even now before I leave for the World Race. As I am discovering more about myself, God is changing me inside, and revealing Himself to me. Through finding what is in my heart, I can see God working in my life, and how He is changing me from the inside out, starting with my heart and how that translates to my outward actions.
As all of this is going on, I am bringing myself out to the public, on this blog. I am bringing myself, from the inner core of myself out for everyone to see. I am beginning this journey now, and I will continue this as I continue to grow throughout the next year, as I grow and see God work in miraculous ways next year.
