Anecdotal Story: When I was in fourth grade, my teacher assigned me the nickname “The Wanderer.” I earned this nickname from my frequent escapades meandering around the school while classes were being taught. Every time I’d return from my socializing antics, my teacher would sing to me her version of the old Dion song, “cause she’s a wanderer, yea she’s wanderer, she rooms around, around, around, around,around, around, around.” It appears that even at that young age, my teacher knew I was a girl with a heart for people and for travel.
Hi my name is Jacquie Morges and I AM A WOMAN OF GOD. If you want to know me, THAT is who I am; and if you're still not exactly sure what that means, I hope I can show you through the way I walk, talk, act, dress, and live.
See, before I left on the Race I thought a lot of things defined me. I sought status and approval in the clothes I choose to wear, I found self-confidence and worth in the men I dated, I felt set apart by the social movements and causes I advocated for, and I searched for happiness and satisfaction in the party lifestyle I lived. But it only took a few months on the Race to discover those things didn't define ME, they defined the world. I, on the other hand, am obedient and loyal like Ruth. I am bold like Esther. I am noble and fearful like the Proverbs 31 woman. I am the daughter of the King. I am not my own. I am His alone. I am set apart, but only because He made me that way. I am royalty and adopted into His line as an heir to the throne. I am worthy. I am blessed simply because I know Him and even if I didn't. I am loved forevermore…no matter what, where, or when…unconditionally His.
Now that I've told you WHO I am, I'll tell you a little about WHAT I've been doing and WHERE I've been.
I am a northern girl who grew up in Malvern, PA, a town right outside of Philadelphia (Go Phillies!). I am an only child who was blessed to grow up in a single-parent household because it meant forming the most incredible bond with my mom. My dad and step-family showed me the opposite side of the family 
spectrum, where I am one of six children. As my teacher predicted, I have spent most of my life exploring the world and wasted no time starting my traveling dreams when it came time to choosing a college. I have spent the past four years in the south studying at Davidson College (and yes I did adopt the endearing expression ya’ll). I am now a Davidson Alum, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, and a focus in counseling and social work. I've had a great couple of years in college, but now I'm ready to witness how God is changing the world!
*If you're like me, then you grew up in the church. But if you're even more like me, then when you got to college you started wondering if any of it was really real or even mattered. And while you were figuring that out, you thought you'd try living outside of that safe church box. You know the one that said you should or shouldn't do things, but in this new college environment you didn't remember why. So you tried these things and they felt fun for a while but then you became even more lost than before. It was in the midst of that confusion that God told me to come on the Race. So if you're sitting here reading this About Me trying to decide if you really fit in with all of us crazies who decided to say yes to this journey, if you're wondering if you're "Christian enough" for this trip, let me just say on behalf of the runaways or the not-so-sure-what-I-believe-but-I-want-to-figure-it-out followers, I'd like to say YOU ARE WELCOME and YOU DO FIT IN HERE.
