Hey everybody! The past 4 weeks have been a wild ride of God working, growing, and breaking little bits of me every day. I have never been more full in my life. I have never been tested more in my life. The beautiful thing is that God shows up again and again. He shows up when I rejoice, when I crumble, and when I falter. He is a foundation I can rely on. Because of that, I can remain steadfast in him. Tonight, my team and I are leaving training camp to embark on our adventure. If these past four weeks have been any indication of what God has in store for me, then He is going to do BIG things. I am ready. I am ready for the changes he will make, our relationship that will flourish, and even for the trials I will face. I know that there will be times I want to quit. Times I will think I am not good enough. Times where I feel hopeless and in a pit of despair. But the beauty of God is that he meets us where we are, lifts us up, and renews our hearts and minds. One thing that has been repeated throughout training camp is the Lord’s Prayer. The part that sticks out for me is “give us this day our daily bread”. We are asking for Him to give us what we need, one day at a time. Even if it means He only gives us what we need for each day.
I have been called to be on the World Race for a purpose. I may not know that purpose, but He does. God is good. He loves me. He wants me to follow him, and my resolve is to do so.
