The World Race
so i finally got the call last night from adventures in missions (aim) telling me that i am accepted for the world race!!! *scream* i am so excited! i pretty much walked around with a smile on my face the whole day today :)
i was just on the site again though www.theworldrace.org and i couldn't believe that i actually want to do this, and i am actually going to do this. i must be insane! the things that i am going to see, the constant moving, the possibility of having to live in a tent for a month or a roach infested hotel!!! oh that alone makes me want to cry. those of you who know me well know that i have a major roach phobia. also, i will just be living on basically whatever i can carry on my back!! and it's suggested i only bring a weeks worth of clothes for an entire year! so this is awesome! i am definitely going to be challenged! it's going to be amazing to experience life with as little as possible. a simple life. i have always talked about living simply and now here is my chance!
i am looking forward to this experience with both fear and excitement! i can't wait to meet the 4 or 5 people that i will be teamed with and who will become my family. i can't wait to live simply and actually live outside of comfort and be dependent on God for things i have never had to depend on Him for before. i can't wait to meet the people who live in the cities i will be visiting and hang out with them and love them and eat with them. i already love them and i don't even know them. i can't wait to see the way God is going to grow me on this trip and change me even more into who He created me to be. I feel as though I am ready to leave tomorrow, but I know that is impossible there is so much that needs to be done and so many things God is going to teach me before i leave in September.
