Do you ever feel stuck or lost and not sure which way to turn? That describes me almost perfectly! When I gave my life to God I was eager to spread the gospel and help people like never before. I'm a little shy though and its not easy for me to just approach anyone and talk about Jesus. I always have a fear of being rejected or mocked. I know this is not from the Lord, but the devil trying to destroy me. I had heard about mission trips but never though much about going on one as my family believed it would be a waste of time. But I felt God convicting me and telling me that that's not true!

Not to long ago one of my very close friends shared with me that she's going on a trip with the World Race and explained a little bit about it. She suggested that I join her. First I thought I could never be gone for 9 months, I'd have to quit my job and I when I returned home and not have much to live off of.  I prayed about it and spent time with God. My mind raced with all the things that could go wrong. I still wasn't sure if this trip was what God had in store for me. Proverbs 3:5 says: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. That verse brought me so much peace! I went ahead and signed up after doing a little more research on The World Race. Excitement filled my heart as I heard other racer's testimonies. It reminded me that all things are possible through Jesus Christ!

I trust that if God wants me on this trip he will provide. I am confident this trip will bring me closer to God than ever!
