i think "why?" is an important question.
but it's one that i haven't received much.
when i tell poeple that i'm going on the world race, the question generally seems to be "what…?"
what is it? what will you do? what countries will you go to? what is the cost?
don't get me wrong, those are all great questions that i asked too.
but an even bigger question that i had to answer for myself was the why. why am i doing this?
here are a few of the why's that i came up with as i sought to answer this question in and for myself.
(p.s. i like to make lists. and i don't like capital letters. so prepare yourself for that if you follow my blog.)
1. obedience – i feel like this is what God has called me to do at this time in my life. am i happy about that? absolutely. am i prepared for what that really means (leaving for a year to essentially go camping around the world) ? i don't think so. not yet.
2. serving AND traveling!? – it's my heart. compassion ministry is what i live to do. and the chance to do that all over the world excites me to no end! i want the things that break God's heart to break mine too. i've expereienced this to some degree in other countries and even in my own community. but i think a chance to see it on a more global level will be so transforming.
3. a look into the future? – perhaps while i'm on the world race i might find my fit. at this point in my life i feel that there are so many things i am passionate about and love to do. maybe while i'm out there God will speak to me more specifically about how i can use what He's gifted me with to bring His kingdom.

so there it is. hopefully that gives you a better look into my life and heart.
