Hello! I’m curious who is actually going to click that link and glance upon these words. I’m hoping quite a lot of y’all will. (because if we’re being honest I can use all the money and prayers I can get! Jokes, except not. Ok, mostly kidding with a hint of honesty)
What I’m about to say includes some of my absolute least favorite things. Uncertainty, dependence, and having to ask for help. BUT it also includes some of the sweetest things in life the most important being having to lean on the faithfulness of my Father.
I’ve swirled the idea of going on “the race” for a while now but always dismissing it because well “everyone” I knew was going on it and if there’s something else I don’t like to do it’s being like “everyone else”.
But it has come down to this. Will I regret not doing this?
After spending too much time stalking peoples’ mission blogs I realize I do have the hunger. I am so not cut out to be a missionary, I don’t even think I am necessarily cut out to be a World Racer. I’m only outgoing when I decide to be and usually I am because I decided to be ornery and everyone else is being quiet. (As I said I have strong aversions to being just like other people)
“He is out there, I realized. If I can’t hear him, so be it. Go serve him, go love my neighbor and I’ll find Him.”— I read this yesterday on one of those mission blogs, a guy that I’ve never met but happened to say the same thing I’ve been trying to figure out.
I want to find the Lord, I want to hear Him, I want wholeheartedly to serve Him. but i have the hardest time. If I can’t hear Him, so be it. Go, serve Him.
There are absolutely no cohesive thoughts in this. I guess what I’m trying to tell you is I’m going. It’s going to be hard, and possibly the most out of my element I will ever be. But I think it’s going to be glorious, learning how to rely on His faithfulness. I will miss my siblings (miss is such a minor word for something so felt), I will be giving up jobs and my first “adult” apartment, I will be missing my baby sisters’ graduation. And yet, I will get to go love on people and have myself buried in learning how to attempt to love selflessly and how to do so without a trace of pride. Please join me on this adventure. Any little thing you could possibly give would be helpful.
