Well here goes nothing…..my first blog entry….EVER. I have never done this before so bear with me while I get the hang of this!
To be honest, I’ve thought a lot about to say on here, or what others might want to hear. I was very unsure about it….about it all really.
Was I cut out for the World Race?
Did I have what it took?
Why was God calling me out of my comfort zone to be a part of this journey?
I first considered the World Race about 6 months ago. It seems since that time, my mind hasn’t stopped thinking about it. I’ve had lots of questions, lots of what ifs. But I knew that God would answer all my questions, all my insecurities and be my guiding light through it all.
I heard this quote once while watching a movie: “What would you do today if you knew you wouldn’t fail? Now go out and do it….It’s risky, but take that leap of faith.”
Well, for me, this was the World Race. While I went back and forth, weighing all my options, I knew that if I did not listen to God, who was calling me on this journey, there would be a huge void in my life that nothing could ever fill. I didn’t want to feel that emptiness forever. I know this race will be the opportunity of a lifetime. Not only will it be a such a fulfilling and enriching experience for myself, but I get to touch the lives of so many along the way. I have been so blessed in my life, that I can not wait for the opportunity to be able to give back some of what God has given to me. I’m so beyond excited to see what Christ has in store for me on this journey as we all work together as his hands and feet.
Let me just add, I would be lying if I didn’t say I am definitely nervous at the same time too! I know there will be challenges and obstacles along the way, and that my eyes will be opened to so many things.
I’m excited to share all these moments and emotions together with my team as we grow closer God.
Which leads me to say……I can not wait to meet everyone on my squad and a make a lifetime of memories together!!
He called me & I have answered. Let the fundraising begin!
