When I first got accepted to go on the world race, it was the only thing I wanted to talk about. I wanted to tell everyone.. the woman in the bank, the man in the gas station, teachers who passed me in the hall. I was desperate for someone to ask me about it. I kept quite though because I didn’t want to sound selfish and talk about me… I prayed and prayed for god to give me someone to talk too. Someone who wanted to listen, and someone who could relate. Before I knew it I was entered into a Snapchat group of 40+ world racers who are on the same route as I! they are kind, and after talking to them I was confident in my decision to go on the world race…. my biggest fear was admitting that I am not a firm believer in Christ, but that I am on this journey to find him. But when we were all asked “why did god call you?” I knew I had to be honest and vulnerable with my teammates. ( hence the phrase “holding up peace signs figuratively” )After sending my response I was flooded with encouraging comments. I was so anxious to meet my teammates, but after communicating with them over the past couple days I am so excited for training camp in July!
