I am a person who loves to make lists, and then checking things off my list is even better (I get this from my family). Soooo I have decided to make a list of goals I have for myself in order to prepare for the World Race. How does one prepare for the World Race? To be honest, I don’t know. At times, I still can’t believe that I am actually going to 11 countries in 11 months. But here are my goals I have come up with to help me get ready for the World Race:
Spiritually:
-Reading through the Entire Bible – spending time in the Word and in prayer every single day, seeking God’s will.
Physically:
-I am going to run a 5k (with my mom!) and I don’t run (ever). So over the summer I am going to prepare/train. Exciting!
-Buy my gear for the trip (backpack, tent, sleeping bag, etc)
-Clean out/ get rid of most of stuff that I will not need anymore
Financially: (These are personal goals I have set for myself)
-June 1, 2011 – $5,000
-July 1, 2011 – $6,500
-August 1, 2011 – $8,000
-September 1, 2011 – $10,000
-October 1, 2011 – $12,000
-November 14, 2011 – $14,000 *my birthday!!!
-December 15, 2011 – $15,500
Mentally:
-Finish AU strong, complete Senior Reviews, and graduate in December!
-Read 3 books (I don’t read much, so this is going to be a challenge)
-Research the places where I will be going so that I can be knowledgeable of each country
Emotionally:
-Pray! and Fast. – Seek God.
-Paint! (I am an artist and painting is my stress relief and the way I express myself). Paint 11 canvases – one for each country – and find a place to display them/sell them.
What do you think of my goals for the World Race? I have 9 months to prepare for the World Race. If you have any suggestions or ideas on how to prepare for the World Race I would love to hear your comments. =) The journey has begun!
