So I guess this is the beginning.
The name is Jill Elizabeth Robertson.
I have one brother.
I also have two great, supportive parents.
I have a photography degree that I don't use.
I am super claustrophobic.
Hot Tamales make me smile.
I love tattoos, but have only committed to one. It's on my foot and says beautiful in Hebrew for Romans 10:15. I hope to have more soon.
I am obsessed with elephants. It's probably unhealthy how much.
I love books and I love to read them.
Outside of the U.S., I've been to Mexico, Belize, Uganda and Kenya. All on mission trips.
If you get me to laugh hard enough, I'll honk like a goose. Some find it charming.
Coffee and tea are important things.
I lived in Tennessee for one summer.
I want to get my pilot's license. Someday.
I'm weird and I like to just write words. Yeah, not like writings to be published or read, but just putting a pen to a paper and writing words on it.
My biggest pet peeve is when people feel entitled to something that every human being could achieve.
When it comes to music, I like it all. But I really love country. Don't judge me!
My eyes range in the colors of blue, green and gray.
I appreciate the arts. Take me to a museum or a theater, and you are bound to make me glad.
Go Yankees and Thunder Up.
I am a huge push-over, and I get that from my mother.
I'm also stubborn, which, yes, I also get from her.
I look nothing like my mom, but everything like my dad.
I have eight piercings total. All in my ears except one nose stud.
I do not have a favorite color or movie.
I have never broken a bone or have had to have stitches.
I get overly protective of the people I love.
I loathe crying, but I always do it despite my best efforts.
I tend to try to prove myself when really there is nothing to prove.
I will not eat green beans, olives, or onions.
I will eat blueberries, pineapple and chipati.
I am a movie-watcher.
I can't remember a time when I didn't feel called to missions.
I believe in God's sovereignty and God's faithfulness.
The Lord freed me of a legalistic state of mind.
I believe in grace and mercy.
I am weak, but thank God his power shines through my weakness.
His grace is sufficient.
The Lord saved my soul when I was six years old.
I heard about the World Race two and a half years ago, and I knew I would be doing it someday.
Oh yeah, I have a fear of ice-skating. Something about the blades.
My heart breaks for orphans, and I want to be a mother to many.
I have no clue what God has planned for me in this life, and I kind of actually like that.
I've never wanted a typical career.
I adore one-on-one conversations about the big things in life and how the Lord is working.
You'll probably never find me at the center of attention.
I love the city and the country.
After my last trip this past winter to Uganda and Kenya, I was convicted that I was ready for a longer commitment.
I have this thing called wanderlust. I blame my being claustrophobic.Think about it.
I'm not scared of going on the World Race as much as I'm scared of not going.
I am really bad at trying to do everything on my own.
Community has been hard for me to find lately, but I know I need it.
The World Race is going to change me in so many ways, and I am more than okay with that.
I am very much looking forward to this journey and all of the joy and the struggle.
I want nothing more than to bring glory to His name and be hard at work for the Kingdom.
I struggle with words and saying what I really mean.
I have hope that the Spirit overcomes that part of me. And many other things.
I thank God for this opportunity and look forward to sharing it all with you.
