Most Frequently Asked Question

“Are You Nervous At All?!”

I think this is the most frequently asked question I receive when in conversation about my WorldRace trip. 

And I’ve just had it on my heart to share why my answer is entirely and completely always “No”. 

Whenever I get asked this, “No” comes easy, even after taking a second of reconsideration every time. 

My reasoning is simple. I have intimacy, I have community, I have mission. (These three words just so happen to also be the vision of The WorldRace.) But maybe you’re wondering what does that even mean? 

It means, I have intimacy and faith and knowing and trust that God will take care of me, in any circumstance. I’ve watched Him bring to me 18,000+ dollars in 18 weeks. This was the money I needed to raise to go on this trip. I’ve watched Him answer my smallest most simple prayers, like give me a word to share with a friend. I’ve read that He will NEVER leave me or forsake me. I’ve read that He goes before me and behind me and beside me. I’ve experienced the overwhelming comfort of His presence surround me. How can I be nervous after all of that, knowing that’s not even the half of what I know He’s done for me? 

Not to mention community!! I have the most amazing community standing behind me as I go, praying for me, donating to me and encouraging me in this journey. I have the most amazing community of women standing beside me as we go and serve the nations, until the whole world hears. I have the most amazing community going before me to plan our trip, place us with ministry hosts and in roles and in places that have been prayed over. I have the most amazing community all around me. I have the God of angel armies interceding for me all day long. How can I be nervous knowing I have community to pick me up if and when I fall?

 How can I be nervous when I’ve been called to this mission? God has asked me to go and therefore I will go in obedience with expectation and excitement that He will meet me there. Y’all I am so passionate about what I’m about to do! I have loved every previous mission trip I’ve gone on. I love travel and I love serving and helping others. And if you know me at all, you know I love people. I love conversation and I love conversation that brings positivity, healing, growth, love, etc. I’m not only called, I’m so passionate and excited for this. I know He will place people in front of us to share and speak with at the moments we and they need it most. He will give us opportunity to share and serve and He will give us strength when we don’t feel like we can do it. The mission set before us may have set the spark, but He keeps the flame going. 

This is what I stand on & this is what I leave you as food for thought:

(Read with superhero character voice) “There’s nothing to fear, God is near.” 

I hope you hold that thought close in your own life and discover what it means to you. What fears can you let go of? What fears can you speak truth into? What fears can He diminish from your life? 

I don’t need to be nervous and neither do you. 

Peace & Love,
