I'm torn. I thought it would be easier. I thought I was going to be told what was going to happen. Instead I was given choices...I should be happy that I have choices, right? 

August 3rd, I was told whether my World Race trip would launch on time (in October), whether it would be postponed or cancelled because of COVID and if borders would open.

The email explained these options:

-Launch on time in October, BUT instead of starting internationally (Central/South America), I would start my first few months in America. By January, hopefully I would be able to go internationally.  

-Postpone till January where (hopefully) I will start internationally.   

-Postpone till next summer. 

-Withdraw 

Regardless of the choices I am given, the expectation of what my trip was going to be is distorted now. The countries are different that I'll be going to, and with the options given, my teammates choose the option they think God is leading them. Which means the friendships I've made with my team is being pulled in different directions and as result some of us will be split up. 

I'm torn. But what still holds strong is that I know God has called me to do the World Race. So I know that I will not be withdrawing, however, I ask you to be praying for me as I decide by next week on where God is leading me. 

 

Got questions; let me know.
