HELLO Friends and Family!
This is my first official post. If you know me, I am not a huge blogger so this may be rough at first. But I am hoping by the end of my race I will be a pro!
Many people have asked me why, why do I want to go on a 11 month trip and be so far away from home? Am I trying to run from something? Am I trying to find something on this trip? Is it just to travel?
Well, I will tell you this, I cannot wait to see the world God created outside of the States. To see and talk to people I would never get the chance to have community with if I stayed here. However, that is not my entire why. My why is simply this. Why not? Why not take advantage of this time God has given me as a young daughter of Christ? Why not me?
I have gone on mission trips before. But I have never experienced something quite like the WorldRace. To get the chance to travel around the world and focus mainly on my relationship with God and sharing his LOVE to every person he puts on my path is a chance of a lifetime! My why is that, there is no why. There is nothing stopping me besides fear at this point. Fear of being gone for so long, fear of missing my friends from home.
If you know me at all, you know that my friends and family are the most important thing to me. Always have been, over school, over running, sometimes even over myself. Taking this leap will NOT be easy. Not at all, but I know with all my heart that God will take care of me. He will take care of me when I miss my people, and I know I have some of the best supporters and that they will be here when I get back. My why is that God is leading me to, do I know why God is leading me? No, I don’t. But I’m sure planning on finding out.
Thanks for all the love and support that has already been given to me over the last few weeks! I do not know what I would do without you all 🙂
