I recently had a conversation with my mother when she said,
“What were you expecting when you signed up for the Race?” Good question! See,
I never did an expectations list or anything and in actuality I left myself
completely open to whatever God wanted to happen. I had known and followed so
many people prior to signing up for the Race that I kinda knew what was going
to happen.
I knew that God was going to put me in situations that I
didn’t want to be in (like an orphanage). I knew I was going to come in contact
with people that I didn’t see eye to eye on or that was going cause me
frustration. I knew God was going to work through me to reach other people and
I knew that God would work through others to reach me.
What I didn’t expect and now I’m challenged with, is how
hard and painful this process is to become more like Christ.
