"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
As we finalize our preparations for our trip, we are reminded that this very extravagant, completely unpredicted, and truly incredible adventure is a gift from God. When I refer to this voyage, I often refer to it as "God's trip." There is no possible way that we could of dreamt up and executed an adventure like this! It was completely in His plans and there is a peace that surrounds us.
There is no better time then now to serve as a testimony to God's goodness, grace, and love. He is giving us the opportunity to be surrounded by witnesses and run the race (football in Milan) for Him. We are reminded to keep our eyes on Him and walk in His light and most importantly; share the truth about the sacrifice He made for us on the cross. It has never been so clear to us before, the calling He has set before us, and we are convicted by the thoughts that God has a bigger plan than just "football in Milan."
We are excited and anxious to see what intricate situations He has in store. Maybe our only reason for going is to share the word with a lost player or touch the life of one family woman. Maybe He is sending us to strictly change Brock and my relationship forever and make us more dependent on Him. Whatever the plan, whatever the reason, we know one thing to be true: It is His race and our eyes are fixed on Him to strictly do His will.
