The days leading up to this moment of sitting in the airport waiting to board a plane to fly to Quito, Ecuador and the start to this crazy adventure called the World Race have been filled with every emotion one could imagine. Everyone would ask me if I was excited and I really could not tell them how I was feeling. I am thrilled but I am also scared, nervous, and a little sad to be leaving for a 11 months. I know 100% that God has been calling me towards the race and during these last couples of days he has really shown me why this is happening. One of the reasons I am sad to be leaving is what I will be missing back home but then I started praying to God and he showed me that is one of the reasons for this time. I need to leave everything and just depend on him for everything. I need to solely focus on what he wants and to truly sit back and get to know him. During the training sessions, one of the speakers talked about a time that he was approached by his wife to spend more time with his little girl and he told his wife that he did not know what to do with her. So his wife replied with then take it to the Lord and see what he has to say. Well he did just that and felt like God was telling him to get his little girl to help him with changing the oil to the car. So they went out and started changing the oil and soon the conversation sparked between them and it hit him. God does not need our help, he does not need us to do anything for him because he could do it all by himself. But he wants to have us join him so he can get to know us; to have that time with just him and solely focusing on him.
So that is what I am going to do, I plan to solely focus on God and get to know him more and more each day. I have laid all my worries, concerns, fears, relationships, and all down at his feet and setting out to spend every day focusing on him and getting to know more about him. I plan not to hold back and to give everything into what he has planed for me. I want to become the lady that he created me to be and just stay true to him. So here’s to starting this adventure across the world and getting to know my incredible God!
