Some of you may be wondering why I would put my life on hold to go on a mission trip. I have so many things going on right now, why would I stop all those things that are contributing to my future career and go abroad on a mission trip.
Well, I am not putting my life on hold for this trip. I am living my life and this trip is a part of it. This has always been apart of God’s plan for my life and this is when He wanted me to go. I do not feel as though my life will stand still while I am on this trip. In fact it will enhance it and give me so many opportunities for my future. It will be hard work and that is why the Lord is calling me to do it. I too was worried that I would be behind others once I got back but, the Lord sent me a passage from the book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, ” I am perpetually with you, taking care of you. That us the most important fact of your existence. I am not limited by time or space; My Presence with you is a forever-promise. You need not fear the future, for I am already there… Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow.”
That passage spoke to me and calmed my spirit. I was so worried to take that step forward because of my concerns about my future but, I know that it is in the Lord’s hands. I know this is a part of God’s plan for me so I need not worry about the future that I cannot see.
So, to answer the question of Why the World Race? I guess it is because the Lord has called me to it and I must answer. I will experience how the Lord is working in so many different parts of the world and how He will use me in those places. The people I will pray with, the children I will help teach, the highs and the lows it is all why the I will rely on the Lord the entire time and I know I will have so many supporter back home praying for me and my entire squad. I cannot wait to talk with all of to share why I am so passionate and about this.
