Hey everyone! This is my second blog post so here goes nothing!
2018 is finally here and with its arrival comes many new and amazing experiences and people. These things are very anticipating and exciting but at the same time terriying and daunting. Exciting because soon enough I will be graduating and finishing my high school career, four long years of hard work and dedication. I have met so many amazing people in high school that have helped shape who I am today, friends that have shown me their faith and helped me grow mine. friends that I will never forget that will always be important to me, and most important friends that are like family, friends that I know will be there for me in times of trouble, when I feel distant from the Lord, that will help me stay on the right track, and will also be there when I am on the top of my game and rejoice in the light of the lord with me.
2018 is also the year that I will be embarking on the World Race with a group of people that I know will be like family to me. People with all sorts of different backgrounds that have there own individual reason why they are being called on such a trip. We will explore together, grow our faiths together, learn together, praise together, and so much more. This is the trip of my dreams. The excitment is also met with some hesitant factors. I will be leaving my wonderful family. I will be without my mother, father and brother. My family has always been supportive of everything I do and without them their to comfort me it wil be a bit challenging. I will also not see any of my friends for nine months, My friends are my go to. They are what make me feel alive. Living my life with them by my side has grown my faith tremendously. They are such amazing people that have their own unique paths and unique relationships with God.
All of these things are very daunting. But the Lord has called me to go on the World Race and I know everything will be fine. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). Instead of looking at the future with sadness and anxiety I believe I should have open eyes and an open heart, for God we protect me and be with me wherever I shall go. I know that God’s plan for me is great and that I will learn so much from the people I cross paths with and will make so many lifelong friends. I will miss my family and friends but I know they are but a phone call or a text message away. Even from across the Earth they will still be supportive and loving as they always are.
Thank you all for taking the time to read my second blog post! God bless!
