After talking a little bit with my mom she told me about a mission trip call The World Race. After a while I decided to look it up. I went to The World Race website and saw "11 countries | 11 months" and my jaw dropped. I have always loved doing mission trips. I have only been out of the states once for a mission trip when we went to Montreal, Canada. I thought to myself, "This would be an amazing adventure. I want to learn more."
The past 6 or 7 months I have felt an urge to just get out of this town. I was born and raised here and want to go. With the situations going on in my life, refer to last post called Brief Recap, I wanted to go away. I started getting a feeling to join the military. Why not? Job, money, free college and travel. Sounds great. Due to being overweight I couldn't join. So I started working out and running. More and more I felt the urge to go. When I hit rock bottom and finally started getting my life back to where God wanted it, I started questioning my future. The military fits the description of this feeling or urge I have had for a while.
After looking into The World Race a little more I could fell a tug, a passion and a heart for going out, not to increase my desires and wants, but to go and share my story and tell others about my God. I have been praying for God to reveal has plan for me and I will continue to do so. I would love the opportunity to go on this trip.
Due to my current situation, there is a lot I have to do first. Of course money is an issue. But I have heard stories and testimonies of amazing things. I think this is going to be rough ride, but eventually God's plan will shine through and great things will happen. This will be a time where faith is going to have to be truly exercised.
Keep me in your prayers. Pray that I can stay focused on God's will for my life and that He will open doors for me. Pray that I can make a difference for Him. Pray that, if I am to go on The World Race, He will provide and bless me. Also pray for the current missionaries on the trip. Pray.
