The Question has been asked, several times this week, Why the World Race?? Why travel all around the world?? Why not just one country for 11 months.
See my life is very simple right now. I wake up, I work, I go to church, I hang out with my family and friends, maybe watch the tv, maybe get on to facebook, buy a few things on ebay, blah, blah, blah…
And it's so easy in all these things to get lost in them… to forget why I am really here…
My life is easy- it's comfortable- it's safe!
And I can't do easy or comfortable or safe anymore! I need more! I need Jesus to be more alive in me! I want be be like Moses and see God in all His Glory! (exdus 33) I want to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
See- Comfortable keeps me where I'm at. Comfortable keeps me from being used by God. Comfortable keeps the world from seeing the Love of Christ. Comfortable doesn't change or touch lives. Comfortable doesn't change the world.
So I'm done being comfortable. I can't do it another day.
And – What drew me to the World Race, was my life is going to change every month. It's not going to let me get comfortable with where I am. It's not going to let me settle in. Every month it's going to be different. And I hate change. I hate when people come in and out of my life. And this is perfect for me. God is going to teach me so much every month.He is going to show me how to change and how to embrass change, Because it wont be easy. This will be the hardest 11 months of my life. But It will be the most rewarding 11 months of my life.
Because the Missy that leaves the United States, won't be the same Missy returning!
God is going to Rock my world! And He is going to knock the comfort right out of me!
And that's why I'm doing the World Race!
