I’m going to start this off by saying, God is love! For he sent his only son to die for my sins.
Now I know that there is no love sweeter than this, I look back & realize how obscured my vision was to neglect it on a daily basis.
I had allowed discomposure and things that I wanted to hold my mind captive. I had lost myself in a dark place, stranded with no transportation and no compass.
I met fear in a empty four-walled room, too frightened to face fear like a man so what did I do, I ran. Fear had told me that I was not good enough, fear had told me that all the wrong I had done couldn’t be forgiven. I believed fear so I said “what the heck” & kept on sinning.
At my darkest and lowest of lows, trying to fabricate an identity for myself, I met Jesus. Life as I had known it was changed, the love and forgiveness I’ve been given can’t be measured!
Now I can look fear in the eyes and say I serve an amazing God that has told me that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
SO WHY THE WORLD RACE YOU ASK? Because my God has called me, not only to use me but to transform me, because their are lost souls that need to be saved, because my life is not about me, because I am crazy for Jesus and I want to spread his love to the nations.
Yes I will be leaving college for a year to embark on this journey, yes I will be leaving life as I know it, yes I will be away from my family & friends, yes I will be traveling to unknown places, yes I will be challenged personally in ways I never thought, and yes I am extremely nervous.
NO to fear and YES to God’s plan for me!!!
Traveling the world, winning hearts back to the kingdom, preaching the gospel alongside a gang of hearts on fire for Christ, doesn’t get any better. Get ready world, September 2015 Squad 5 is coming with a lot of Jesus in our hearts!
