NEWS FLASH! I’m going to Romania, India, and Costa Rica next year and, because of that, my life is full of a lot of unknowns at the moment. So why now?
When I was a sophomore in high school, I got in my head that I was going to go on some sort of long-term missions trip. I felt like God was calling me to go and serve him before I started college and I headed into the rest of my life. At first, I was very obedient to God’s plan for me and I was ready to just go but remember this was two years before I could even apply. But, when it actually came time to apply to the World Race I procrastinated applying. I really struggled saying yes to the Lord. It was really hard to see my friends making plans for college where they could come home for the holidays and be able to call their parents whenever they wanted to. But, ultimately I knew God was calling me to go. Every once in a while I still struggle with the idea of saying goodbye to the people I love the most but I know that God will be there through all of it.
Another question I get a lot is why did I chose the World Race? I really did not know what organization I was going to go through but I felt drawn to World Race the second I got on the website. I wanted the variety of seeing different countries and getting the chance to serve so many different types of people. The last thing I am going to address is why I picked route 5. I really felt drawn to route 5 because of the diversity of countries. To be honest, I felt a lot of pressure picking the route so my friend and I flipped a coin and route 5 was where I was put. Ever since I picked this route, I have felt my anxiety lifted and I immediately felt secure. Anyways I am really excited for these next steps and to continue this process of the World Race!
Love You All,
Brook
