Into the unknown. Into the unfarmiliar. Into the uncomfortable. Into the newness. Into the adventure. Into the transformative. There are so many different ways we can look at the unknown, and so many decisions we base off of not knowing what the unknown holds. From researching the world race, to applying, to interviewing, and to finally accepting my spot; I’ve felt God calling me to let go and trust Him witht he unknown. Although I don’t have all the answers, I don’t know the exact plan for fundraising, and I don’t know what will happen on this new adventure; I know the one who does know. I used to be terrified of the future because I knew I wasn’t in control of what could happen. Now, I see the future as bright, exciting, and completely in God’s hands. I used to think the word unknown meant without God, but I now see it as being closer to God than ever before. I am so pumped to be on this journey, and even though it is a little scary preparing for something so unfarmiliar; I know that God is with me in anything and everything. I listened to a Missionary share her story about how she ended up living in another Country with less than .001 percent Christ Followers, and the thing she said that stood out the most was when she spoke of fear. She said she felt safe in that Country and wasn’t afraid because she can trust God wherever she is. I was truly inspired by what she said, and was reminded of God’s presence no matter where we are in life. Where God guides, He provides and I know that He will provide everything that I need for this journey. He is always faithful and I look forward to each and every day I get closer to the unknown.
