Hello! Thank you for reading my first post!

Today I sat down and prayed about the prompt "Why I'm going on the race." I felt I needed time of prayer and a time of intentionally coming up with an answer.

After prayer I found this purpose;

I want to help those less fortunate than I am. I want people to be able to feel the love that God has showed me. I want my heart to have the will and want to serve. To be able to bless others with my actions and to spread the word of the Lord. That I can become selfless like Jesus and put others before me. I want a change of mindset from one of individual success to one pursuing the kingdom of God.

I want my worldview to be shaken, for worldly priorities to fade and to gain a new perspective on life.

The verse John 15:2 came to mind. “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” This is one of my prayers as I embark on this mission for Jesus. That He is able to shape me and that I am able to let go of unfruitful habits or wants.

I pray that He is able to use me in ways I never imagined to impact others around me. I am so so excited for this trip and I can't even tell you how much the financial support and prayers mean to me! Thank you <3
