Doing the hard stuff has never been my strong suit, I have always been good at scraping by and doing the bare minimum. The problem with the bare minimum is that there leaves no room to grow in The Lord. I spent the three years before I re-dedicated my life to Christ doing the bare minimum and I watched everyone I knew grow in a deeper relationship with God by making hard decisions and remaining obedient to His will instead of theirs. I saw them collect more joy and peace while I got more frustrated and confined because of my unwillingness to step out in faith.
When I accepted the call of the The World Race I asked God to help me to be fearless. I wanted to see the shy girl who was terrified of interacting with people soar higher than ever before. Today I stand as a new woman in Christ. My chains were broken in fellowship with my amazing N squad family and now I am ready to take on more of the hard things, I want to have a deeper relationship with my King, and I want to serve Him to best of my ability.
I have spent the last 8 months of my life getting to know the most amazing group of humans I have ever known. I am so honored to have served alongside them for this long. We have become family and we have never even met face to face. It is amazing how technology powered by The Holy Spirit can make a random group of people seem not so random as they become family. God knows exactly what He is doing in each of our lives and I know that I have encountered them for a specific purpose.
If there has been anything that I have learned about the race so far it is that God is in control of every single step that I take. There is nothing that I can not do is I have Christ with me (Philippians 4:13). God has called me to be fearless once again and take another step towards His desire for my life. I have decided to switch to another route that will be launching in January. Route 5 is where The Lord will have me! I have know for a few weeks but I just needed a little nudge from The Spirit to help me along. I can tell you that not 10 minutes after I made the phone call to switch routes I had total peace.
As far as I am concerned I am already on The World Race. The last 8 months have been in discipleship with Route 2 and I have loved it so very much. They are very special people to me and I know that they will do amazing things for The Kingdom of God! I can not wait to see how God transforms thriver lives as they transform others live. I love you my blue crew!!
