I have a problem. It’s called FOMO: Fear of missing out.
For as long as I can remember I have always felt like I was missing out on something bigger or better happening. I’ve never been in the group of people that always has plans to do something. Instead, I was the person standing right outside the group within earshot, but never invited.
This fear is magnified as I begin to prepare to leave for 11 months. What am I going to miss out on?
Holidays?
Birthdays?
Friends moving?
Parties?
Celebrations?
Weddings?
Graduations?
The list can go on and on because I know that I’m going to miss out on a lot when I’m gone.
But, I know that I have to go. I have been called by God to go. The fear of missing out would only be worse if I stayed. What would I miss out on if I didn’t go?
I would miss the opportunity to travel the world and do life with a pretty great squad.
I would miss out on holding an orphan in my arms and telling that child Jesus loves him or her.
I would miss out healing the sick and feeding the hungry.
I would miss out on some great stories that only World Racers have to tell.
I would miss out on adventures that I could tell my children one day.
Most importantly, I would miss out on the life God has planned for me.
So here’s to the 6 months I have before launch and not missing out on life as it happens now. Here’s to living in the present and being thankful for what I have.
Help me not miss out on what is to come and support me on the left side!
