As I think about my journey in just four short months, I am scared.
I am terrified of what I will embark on in my journey. More so of what I will see that is just heart breaking. But also what and who I am leaving. It scares me of who I will become (for the better) but what will be changed as I come back. Yes this a long ways away, but it’s a scary thought of how much can change in 11 months of being AWAY.
I also sit here and think just how blessed I am for what I have. Just thinking about living out of a backpack is something that is so intriguing, yet challenging. But really why do I need all of this stuff? To have everything I currently have, and I am not always happy, breaks my own heart. I have recently been thinking greatly about the world we live in. Why do I have all these things I don’t need? Why is social media likes important? Why does doing the social norm make you cool? But really, that is NOT what matters. It’s Jesus. I know that I have made mistakes, but I know that because of His grace and His love, I am loved deeply. Being scared is a human thing, but faithfully trusting His timing is something I am STILL learning to understand. Obviously this whole World Race thing wasn’t just something that worked out, but it is in my plan. That is something I often tend to forget…that no matter what I choose to do, His plan is greater than mine.
Don’t get me wrong, I am also so beyond excited for what this next year of my life will bring. The people, that is what I am most excited for. But also to serve others, and see pure joy. Please please please keep me in your thoughts in prayers as I prepare for my journey in four months!
