So people keep asking me why I want to leave my world behind for a year. My world consists of every single new person I meet and every person that I can share my life with. My world is nothing, but growth. If I stay how can I go.
I’m going because to be honest I have gotten very comfortable in the life that I live. As a follower of Christ that is dangerous. I was not called to be comfortable. I was called to love others and care for them through Christ. I’m not saying I don’t love others. What I’m saying is have gotten used to loving others who come to my church and those I see at work or around town. Somewhere along the line I stopped pushing my comfort zone and I asked God to change that. He has opened my eyes to an amazing opportunity to be apart of The World Race 11n11.
This is by far one of the scariest things I have ever done. Not that I fear for my safety, but I have to leave my comfort zone. Though I am so excited to see where the Lord grows me. He is going to grow me through my preparations, even before I step foot out of town. The Lord has brought me through so many things, I have no doubt that this will be anything shy of awesomeness.
