Hello,
Thank you for taking the time today to read about what God has been doing in my life.
Proverbs 3:5 which says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” has been one of my life verses for some time now. But by calling me on the World Race Gap Year Route 6 He brought this verse to life in me in a way I have never experienced before.
On September 25th 2018 I heard the Lord’s call loud and clear that I was to go on the World Race. At the time I had no idea what that would look like or how I was to go about fulfilling this calling, but what I did know is that I had to walk in obedience by saying, “yes”! Trusting God has something huge for me in being away from my friends and family here in the United States for 9 months serving him was not an easy surrender, but the Lord has blessed it abundantly.
Since I took the leap of faith to say yes the Lord has been growing me and healing many different disconnects I have had inside me about God and His faithfulness. There is a huge difference in saying that I trust in God and actually living it out. He has been leading me into many different ways in which I am learning to live out trusting in him.
Fundraising for the World Race Gap Year Route 6 could be seen as a daunting task of a $16,600 need looming over your head, but this is the opposite of the Lord’s heart. He desires that we be joyful in times of need and trust that He is faithful to equip those He calls. God has been wrecking me personally with the truth of that.
God has shown me through my doubt and lack of faith that He has overflowing never ending love for me. Even when I am faithless He remains faithful. I owe it all to Him for how much He provides for me. He has always been faithful and with this calling of the World Race, I know He will prove himself faithful again, and I am excited to see what amazing things the Lord will do through this journey.
Thanks again for reading! Please consider partnering with me through prayer and if you feel so lead financially. I appreciate it greatly.
God Bless,
Taylor Smith
