Why World Race? I’m sure this is going to be a frequently asked question, so let’s just dive right in! The last two years of High School I really struggled with feeling like I didn’t know my “purpose.” Junior year turned into senior year I still had no idea what I was supposed to do or where I was supposed to go, and as I watched all of my friends seamlessly plan out their futures, every. singly. plan that I made fell through. This was super disheartening and frustrating, but it was obvious that the Lord was moving in my life and I held on to that truth. With all of this being said, I decided to take a gap-year and moved to Colorado. This was a move that I honestly though would fix all of my problems. I thought I was going to meet “my people” and really just figure out my life, but right was I got here the Lord threw me into a season of loneliness that I didn’t know I needed. I’ve spent the last few months really taking my faith seriously and spiritually maturing and wow how the Lord has changed my heart! I had a moment of clarity when I realized I was chasing my purpose that has been right in front of me for so long. Matthew 28 tells us to go and make disciples. We were all put on this earth to build the Kingdom, and I cannot believe it took me so long to fully comprehend what that means. I finally understand why God sent me to Colorado. It wasn’t to party or have the “college experience.” It was to open my eyes and prepare my heart for this trip! I want the Lord, and He has put me in such a fun season where I am able to say “yes” to Him! I am learning to stop white knuckling my way through life, and this trip is helping me do that. Fully surrendering to the Lord, especially when you’re Type-A like me, can be so scary, but it is even more freeing. I am excited and honored to be walking in that freedom.
