This year I’ve dealt a lot with comparing my idea of what I wanted my life to look like this year and the plan that God had for me. There were many times when I began to second guess my decision to come on the World Race and would go on facebook and see statuses of people getting married, engaged, pregnant, going back to school and I began to think … ”Am I doing the right thing? I could have gone back to school to get my masters.”
Let me just say that Satan knew exactly what he was doing when he began to fill my mind with thoughts of, You’ve let your family down, You’ve failed yourself for going for the bare minimum and getting your bachelors in teaching. Your friends back home are getting married starting a life for themselves and have jobs where they don’t have to depend on anyone.
Today as I look back, I know that the decision I made a year ago was a very important and a crucial decision I made at the right time.
I COULD HAVE stayed home to continued my education and gotten my masters.
I COULD HAVE continued to work at a 9-5 job.
I COULD HAVE begun my teaching career in a school district of my choice.
BUT INSTEAD …
I HAVE CHOSEN to travel the world along side a squad of 52 people who have become my family
I HAVE CHOSEN to make unforgettable memories in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania
I HAVE CHOSEN to share the gospel with people and have see people physically healed before my own eyes.
And, with that decision I have found something much greater. I feel like God is calling me to the mission field not for a season but for a life time. I’m determined to go home and sort through my options of:
Continuing my teaching career
Partnering with a non-profit
Traveling the states sharing my story
Getting back on the mission field overseas
Or goign back to school
you see this year was a year of self discovery and I’m sure I’ve found it.
