So over the last couple of weeks a lot of people have been asking me about my thoughts on the World Race. They ask me if I am nervous about what we will see or be doing. They ask if I am afraid of things that may happen. They have so many questions, and I love it!
So I thought I would share some of my thoughts on here…
Am I nervous?
“About the trip?” Not at all! I love meeting new people, and love to go new places. In fact a lot of times I feel more comfortable around tons of people I don’t know than I do in my own home. I think somehow when I was wired together some lines got crossed or something, because it is really weird even to me!
“About raising the funds?” Well, I cant lie. On this one I am a bit nervous… I have like 8 more months, and don’t know where it is all going to come from! Work has been a bit slower than I thought it was going to be, and so I am afraid the money I had planned to set aside for the trip isn’t showing up as quickly or easily as I thought it would. I know our God is big, and I know that the support will be raised! So I am putting it into Gods hands, and letting Him deal with that!
Am I afraid?
Again, not in the least. I have been asked what I would do if I were in Africa, and some people held us at gun point or if I got thrown in a jail…. Well, In all honesty I would be so freaked at the moment, but I know that my God is bigger than the boogie man, he is bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on tv, and He’s watchin out for you and me! So the at the moment I may be a bit freaked, but truth is, how fun of a story would that be to tell everyone when I come back!!! To be able to say that I spent time in an African jail, or got robbed or who knows what! I think it all adds to the adventures of life! (Please note, I dont believe any of this will happen, and I pray it wont. But if it did, how crazy cool would it be once we got out?)
Life is good! I am super totally amped about the world race, and can’t wait to travel and work for God! It is bound to be a year I will never forget!
