On May 9th 2015 at 8:30 AM I will be walking across the stage shaking hands with Michigan State University’s president, President Simon, and taking my diploma. With this date fast approaching I started to become nervous about my future, I began to doubt my passion of working with kids, anxious about if I was ever going to get a job and scared to leave East Lansing, my home for the past 4 years. I wasn’t giving my life to God and following His path for me because I was too consumed with my fear.
One morning on a car ride home from an incredible weekend with a few of my friends at a Christian Conference my friend Jess asked me what my plans were for the future. I answered honestly saying I didn’t know where I was going to go after graduation, that I had dreams of travel and wanted to let God show me the path He wants me on. She briefly mentioned that I should look into the World Race, something I never heard about before until she said that. That night after I got home I searched “The World Race” on the Internet and found the website and automatically fell in love with the idea of going.
I prayed continuously as I filled out the application, and the online interview, asking God to take my life into His hands to place me where He wanted me. For once I gave up my worries about the future and knew God had a place for me, whether it was taking part in the World Race or not.
A little over two weeks ago I got the phone call saying that I was accepted into the September Route for the World Race, I was simply speechless and without hesitation I accepted.
All of this happened so fast but God knew I needed to have a definite plan for my future and He gave me the best option. I am so excited to see where these 11 months take me.
Consider supporting me, either through prayers, keeping updated on my blog, or finically.
