Thus far the past few months have been very exciting when it comes to planning my future. I don't think anyone really realizes how excited I am, mostly because I think I am afraid to be excited. For once things are actually working out peacefully. It is amazing what peace God's plan can bring. I hope and pray everyday that I am following His will for my life. I know that I must be because I've never felt at ease about anything in my whole life. I guess some people are probably wondering what in the world this plan is that I am talking about. I was recently accepted to take a trip of a lifetime. I was accepted to go on The World Race. It is an 11 month mission trip to 11 different countries. (You can find out more about it at http://www.theworldrace.org/.)
I was originally accepted to go on Route 2 in January, but due to some school conflicts I had to ask to be moved to July race. I am not going to lie I had a good bit of anxiety about this. I didn't exactly know how well they would accept me needing to change, but in about 10 minutes I got switched to a different route and the mystery of if is exciting me so much because they don't have the countries planned. I told my Mom today that this means I am going. So now to start raising money, everyone get out your wallets just kidding, I would appreciate prayers and support of any kind. I am excited, but also very scared at the same time. I just want to be the hands and the feet of the Lord and serve His children. I just keep thinking about Isaiah and saying "Here am I, send me."
Enough deep stuff for now. So since I have no passport, and I kinda need one to travel around the world, I started the application process this week. I am a tad nervous about it. It just seems like a good bit of unchartered territory, but I guess that is what life is. Anyway I will keep you posted. If anyone has any good tips for how to live life for a year out of a backpack please let me know I need all the help I can get.
Oh and Amy and I made chocolate chip muffins for the baking challenge last week. They were good. I would probably add some applesauce next time. Also, school started back this week. So far so good. I am looking forward to my classes. So far they are pretty exciting. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better and making new friends, it's a new skill I am working on.
I hope that everyone out there feels as blessed as I do.
