“If I say, ‘I will not mention him,
or speak any more in his name,”
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.”
Jeremiah 20:9
I am going on the World Race because I want to live with this type of burning fire. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we all spoke his name in every place we go, to every person we meet, and in every second, every hour, every day, with this type of energy? The world would be changed! I want to live in this way because he has been so so good to me, and I want to share my father’s gentle heart with those he’s called me to. It’s an incredible gift! Isn’t it AMAZING that the Lord uses us, as broken as we are, to be a part of his immaculate plan? I want to utilize every morsel of this opportunity I’ve been given, although very imperfectly.
I’ve been lucky enough to grow up watching my family and many others in my life live out this verse, both in the States and overseas. I’ve been able to watch them succeed and fail at what God’s called them to do, yet he uses it all. I’ve seen God change the lives of others through them and seen their own lives changed as well, simply because they answered the call. “Ring Ring”, God’s calling ME!! The Lord of the Universe is hitting up my line, and I’m here for it. That is why I am going on the World Race: because I want to answer the call, and I want to be used by the Lord for big things and for small things, whatever that might be. I want to serve, and in doing so, I want my heart to be inclined to the Lord’s sovereign voice. So I hope you’re as excited as I am for what the Lord is doing through me and through you and all over the world, cause lucky for us he’s got the whole thing in his hands.
