How world race has prepared my heart for the future/ (how it changed my life

First of all, i like to just state the fact, going on the world race has been the best choice i have every make in my first 20 years.

With that being said, it hasn’t been because all of the sudden I’m a new person, or because i did this amazing thing called a 9 month mission trip, when a had so many other things i could’ve chosen. To say the least i have more questions now, then i did before i left home.

When i say I didn’t change, it doesn’t mean I didn’t learn anything, because i learned a lot on how to live life, and how to do it right. But still me, in physical terms, didn’t change one bit,(other then the belly i grow a little) but me, in my heart and my heart posture, that is where everything changed. That is where it feels like i was just relaxing in my comfortable chair, where now after experiencing a lot of FIRE sermons from AIM leaders in Georgia, to receiving some more FIRE sermons and teaching from the staff at the Guatemala base, last but not least just being around everyone from THE ONE AND ONLY GAP C. Where love is never ending, sometime it may haven’t seem that way, because we all still struggle and get cloudy heads, but deep down, everyone always comes back to being of ONE ACCORD with the Father, where everything is love.

Which is really cool because that runs with what the Bible says the first two greats commandments are;

Matthew 22:37-39. And he said to them, You shall Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it; You should love your neighbor as yourself.

With that being said, i have learned soon much over the last 9 months.

But I’m not going to be saying any of them. Because after being at home(for a wedding 3 weeks ago), i learned that being at home,by yourself is totally different then living in a community of 23 amazing people of God. And in that time spent at home, I figured out that everything i have learned in the last 9 months will most likely go straight out the door, if i can’t figure out a way to get what is in my head and take it straight to the my heart, where the Holy Spirit will be, and the Holy Spirit loves to help people in their life’s, especially with what we feel like is a impossible task to work thought in our life.

So with that ill leave you this one thing, don’t be a person where you let things stack up in your head, and then when you go to make a choice you get clouded down because of everything there. But instead be a person who takes everything to heart and is in Constant  communication with the Father above, who is all knowing with what is life and what is death.

Also would love if you could pray for me as a prepared to come home in two weeks, 

Pray that everything I learned will become like a mustard seed, and that after of the race it would continue to grow because it’s on good soil, and not rocky ground, where it will be scorched when hard times come along. 

Mark 4:30-32; is where Jesus talks about the mustard seed.

Also a life update;

SO i have a few things planned for this summer and fall. First comes a boot camp that happens at the AIM base. It is where the next racers come and get to know each other and have fun, and with that comes chores to do like, cooking,keeping the grounds clean,ETC. So with that I’m volunteering my time there for 4 days.  

Secondly, I’m planning on being a alumni team leader come September, where i get the amazing opportunity to discipline a team of racers for the fist three months of their race.

With team leading, I need to fundraise 3,000 dollars, so if you are feels lead to donate, you can do so at   jasonesh.the world race.org/

Much love to everyone out there,
