So, as I have mentioned in my last post, I am reading "Crazy Love" by Frances Chen and I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading it, I just finished Chapter 7 – Your Best life…ever and couldn't help to think about the World Race.
He asks: "What are you doing right now that requires faith?"
Well, first thing I think of is my current situation, my job. The job that took me to rural Indiana where the closest family is 3 hours away and work with high school athletes. These past three years have required a lot of faith and trust as I went through loneliness without my friends and family around. This time taught me how to rely on God and how important He is and how when I feel alone, I'm not because He's always there with me. These three years have also made me trust God and I know this is just part one of my trust test. I have a feeling the rest of my life will be about trusting God, but we'll see. I have had to trust God that Bedford is where he wanted me and I had to find what He wanted BNL to teach me. This time in Bedford has helped me learn to how to break out of my "shy shell". To walk into a small group at church, start conversations with new people, etc. God is definitely working on the next part of my life right now. He has led me to the World Race. This is my next adventure of faith. I'm putting EVERYTHING in His hands! (finances, security, health, strength, etc.) I am just so anxious to see what He puts on my path and what He wants me to experience! I can't believe I'm going to be doing His work for 11 months! Ahh, God is totally going to change my world upside down! 
I will not be the same person when I come back. I will be a better person and Christian who will want to continue to bring fellow brothers and sisters to Christ. The World Race is not even here and its consuming my mind and life. I love it already! I love this quote Chen said in chapter 7, "Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy." I can totally see some of my friends and family members thinking I'm crazy for doing this! But, I don't care. I a seriously working on having a crazy love relationship with my savior, Jesus Christ.
"Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
