I feel I have been on this journey for awhile now. It’s that journey I am sure most of us are on. Who I am? Where do I belong? What does Jesus want from me? I constantly have these thoughts running through my head. My life over the last two years has been turned upside down.
Every day as I wake up, I think, “is this it, is this what I am supposed to be doing? There has to be something more?”I keep having this burning desire inside me that hungers and yearns for more. God gave me a heart of passion, adventure, and desire to love people.
I just kept feeling this stirring in my heart. It was a stirring like God was saying, “I want all of it (heart), I want all of you.” Everything told me I was on the brink of something big.
I just kept hearing this whisper..world race, world race. I looked it up and immediately in my heart I knew that was where he was calling me. At the same time a new job became open at work. The job I had been waiting on for months. Funny how timing works out : ) It was a job I was sure to get too. I became faced with the decision now. “Do I go out for the World Race or do I go out for the new position? If I turn down the position there is still I chance I apply to the WR and don’t get it.” It would be a huge risk turning down the position. A choice was to be made. The answer was actually quite clear though. The way I see it He gives us free will. Either choice I chose, I would have gotten. In my heart I knew that much, but which was the right one for me.
I guess it’s clear now what decision I made. That was just over a month ago. I decided to take the riskier option. Life’s to short. Be bold. That’s what I feel in my heart. God has placed a burden on my heart for awhile now.
It’s time to move into action. I have no clue what this next year holds, I have no expectations really going into this either. I am leaving it completely open to what God wants to do. Some people will get excited for me and encourage me. Some will think I am crazy. Either way this is where I feel God leading my heart. I have no idea what happens next, but what I can tell you is God is unfailing in His love for us, and that sets my heart on fire to know it. He takes me where I am, and chooses to use me.
And I am now a World Racer!
