Why the World Race? Why would I leave everything and go into the mission field for the next year…….I feel that right now I’m in a very good place in my life. I have everything that I thought was extremely important to me. I have a career that I enjoy, great relationships with family and very close friends, an awesome house, and plenty of toys to keep me occupied. All the things that I thought would make me happy. These things I have been striving for through my short time in the working world. I am blessed with things that should keep me okay with who I am. I’ve found myself at a crossroad, a position where I feel as if I’ve focused so much on a secular world that I’ve forgotten what I’ve always wanted to be the most important thing in my life, my faith! Through the past few years my faith hasn’t been a priority, building a life and doing things that I thought would make me happy has been my focus. God has clearly spoken to me through this verse. John 8:31-32 “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” I feel a calling on my life to be a part of something greater than myself, to go and be a disciple. I want to walk in the truth of Jesus Christ and trust in what the Lord has for my life. I want to be set free by the truth of Jesus and walk in the truth. “Here I am Lord, use me! I want to be His hands and feet in this broken hurting world!
