My Why...

For the dozen or so people I've told about applying to The World Race, only once was I asked "Why?". I actually have very specific reasons and desires. I've tried to communicate this, as clearly as possible; however, I don't want to forget them in a year or two so I wanted to journal my thoughts.

Despite "MY" why, I am still praying for SPECIFIC and CLEAR direction from God if this is what He has for me. I'm also still praying which route to choose from if chosen to serve in this ministry. I definitely feel more led to one group out of the three but still praying until I have to give an answer.

MY WHY
Adventure, yes.
Travel, yes...
...but it goes deeper!
Experience the MIGHTY Power of God.
MORE to this life!!
More than me...
 Children
Adults
Crippled
Deserted
Hurting
Lonely
Impoverished
Abandoned
Discouraged
Forgotten
Unloved
Depressed

In terms of Jesus, "the LEAST of these". 

Sacrificial serving
Dying to self
Create a "dirty towel"

There are things I desire to see God do 
THROUGH me as part of the World Race.
LOVE others - to LIFE!!

There are things I desire to see God do 
IN me while being a part of the World Race.
I truly desire NOTHING MORE than God shaking my life upside down
and emptying ME out of it - so that all is left is HIM.


“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of 
the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:40 

"Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. 
Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you."  
Psalm 143:8
