My pastor in Indiana always talked about how God doesn’t
reveal his plans for a purpose. If we knew exactly where God was leading us 5
years down the road, we wouldn’t believe it. It’s true. I would never have
believed that God could lead me here. I never would have believed that I could
do this. And so not knowing what is going to happen next year on the World Race
is okay with me right now. Because I’ve experienced God being in control. And
even when things are hard, I trust HIM.
These are my expectations now, but they are likely to change
within the next year as God takes me on another adventure for his glory.
