BUT my route has changed!

 

I will be going on Route 2 and here are the countries I will be visiting!

 

 

 

China

Host of the 2008 Summer Olympics and home to 1.3 billion people, China’s not just grand in land mass and population. Beside the Han Chinese, there are over fifty minority groups. While China has grown in leaps and

Where in the world?

My route is amazing! (courtesy of theworldrace.org)

If anyone has information, interesting facts, or fun personal stories about any of these countries, let me know! I would love to chat with you and learn as much as possible about these countries before I leave.

Also, I want to thank every single person that has prayed for me and my squad, encouraged me, supported me, donated to my trip, and read my first blog. I thank God for all of you and for everything tha

Prayer is scary.

So, ive been praying this prayer for the past couple of days, and honestly I don't like praying it because that will mean change. and change usually comes with pain. not physical pain, but real pain. so lets be real. im a little scared, because i have no clue what this will look like. but im also, estatic, because the people that i have seen go through this have an intimacy with Jesus and a love and joy in life that make my SOUL LEAP. literally leap. So my team leader, zack vanderwall (yeah

Route Change!

As many of you read in the "My Call To The World Race" blog, I couldn't decide on a Route. I drew January Route 4 out of a hat and just went with it. I questioned my choice, and juggled between Routes 3 and 4. After some prayer and encouragement from friends, I'm proud to say I will be part of January Route 3!

 

Here are the countries I will be visiting:

Guatemala

Honduras

Nicaragua

Costa Rica

South Africa

Mozambique

Living with the 12 Disciples [PHOTO]

This blog was prompted by my current living "situation." Though it is temporary, it is still a "situation." As I type this, I am living in a home with 12 other World Racers. Those 12 disciples just so happen to be female. There IS another man staying in the house, so I'm not completely helpless.

The point of this blog is to share some things I've heard and learned over the two days I've been here. Before I go any further, let me just begin the list...

My Attitude SUCKS.

I'm gonna call a spade a spade and flat out say... my attitude SUCKS lately. 

 

I can think of a dozen reasons why my attitude is so awful of late... some of them being: 

 

It is really hot outside, think.... 100 plus degrees in the sun, and at times, we have walked up to 7 miles in the heat to hand out invitations for a day camp. There are no fans. There is no AC. There is only one very shared shower. This is uncomfortable. I feel complete

Finding my voice

I’ve got to tell on myself for a moment. It has taken me several weeks to get this blog post going.  I’ve made all sorts of attempts at it.  I’ve spoken with several people far more proficient than I in the art of blogging.  I would go several nights a week up to my office for a couple of hours considering what to say, and how to say it.  It’s been quite frustrating, as you can imagine.

As part of the World Race, it is highly encouraged to blog freq

This is what I'm about...

"Productivity - or so we believe"

     I somehow have a feeling that I am not alone with what I am going to blog about. I notice a lot that I have to feel productive to a certain point each day to feel good about myself, or to feel that I did enough that day to really say I spent my time wisely and accomplished a lot. If days go by, where I don't get everything I wanted to get done, or where Its a slower day and I relax more, I feel as if it was a waste of a day and I get discouraged. We are wired as huma
