When senior year began, I was struggling to find where I was meant to go. I have always been the person to have my future all planned out and now that it was finally time to make the decision on where to go to school and what to do next year, I felt completely unprepared. This was something that was hard for me to comprehend and it left me feeling hopeless, scared, and nervous for the future.
Taking a gap year before I went to college was never something I considered, it seemed scary and something that I had never experienced. I liked being in control and knowing what to expect, but I kept hearing God’s voice telling me to step out of my comfort zone. I knee about WR and decided to do some research on their programs. The more I read about the gap year trip, the more u fell in love it!
I decided to spend some time in prayer and to listen to God’s voice to really lead me to the right decision. I went to church that same weekend and our pastor preached on overflowing love and trust. I felt like every word was being spoken directly to me. After the sermon I knew that this trip is exactly what God has called me to do.
Fast-forward to now, God has continued to show me that this trip isn’t going to be easy. But can feel Him preparing me for it daily. He has put me in stituations that have tested trust and strength over the past few months. But I am remaining strong and thankful because I know that He is preparing me for World Race. I can’t help, but praise His good name for giving me this opportunity.
As I continue to prepare for WR, my reason for choosing this path has grown. I chose WR to help others. I chose WR to grow in my faith. I chose WR to meet people who I would have never had the opportunity to meet. I chose WR to spread love. But most importantly I chose WR because God is good and I want to tell the good news.
