I cannot believe I am now the one sitting behind a computer typing this. After the countless world racer blogs I have stalked and obsessed over, I am now one of those racers. Eeeeeks!!! I’m Lyndsay, a 26 year old South Texas girl. Here are some basic things about me.
It is hard to put into words how much my family means to me. My parents love is unceasing and my two older sisters are my best friends. I’m “KiKi” to a nephew and niece that are so full of life and have shown me a whole new type of love. I’m blessed with the world’s greatest friends who have impacted my life in immeasurable ways. I was raised in the same small Baptist church since I was in diapers. This church is the house that built me and the same church I call home today. Coffee keeps me sane and books are my crazy obsession. (I love reading books not writing them, so bear with me through the blogging.) I love laughter and have a heart for travelling. I have been teaching and coaching for the past four years. My favorite part has been the relationships built with my players and students, but right now I hear God calling me to reach a different group of people.
What is the World Race
The World Race is a journey to 11 countries in 11 months. Throughout these 11 months we will be sharing the love of God and serving some of the poorest countries in the world. My team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, and minister to women and children in need of our Father’s hope.
Why the World Race
First off, the World Race has been a dream of mine for many years. Honestly, I never thought I would be able to leave this life behind for almost a year. I love my little life here. God has blessed me beyond belief and I am grateful for all the beauty I am surrounded by, but I have become too comfortable and complacent. I live in my own little selfish bubble. I don’t feel as if I am serving God the way He has called me to serve. I’m ready to further the Kingdom of God. There really is no better time than now. As I type this, my heart is racing with excitement, anticipation, and an eagerness to begin this journey. Most of all, I am feeling thankful to God for keeping this dream alive in my heart and faithfully persisting that I take this jump.
Ultimately, this adventure is not about me. It has everything to do with Him.
As I prepare for this exciting journey I ask for your continued prayers for my team and I. Please let me know if there is anyway I can be praying for you. I also pray for your considerations in helping fund me. This will no doubt be a challenge for me, but I am confident God will provide.
