A little glimpse into my life…
I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin where you were either on time somewhere or late because you got stuck behind a tractor. After living in the Twin Cities for the past 6 years, I grew to love and appreciate this small town community. I was/have been blessed growing up in a Christ-centered home and this has been essential in my walk with God. After losing my brother in third grade from a snowmobile accident my faith in God was a roller coaster ride. I was angry, confused, and yet dependent on God because besides my family, I had nothing else to rely on. As I mentioned in another blog, my mission trips experiences has played a huge role into shaping who I am today. My family has also played a huge role in my life. After losing my brother, we clung to one another and have an indescribable bond. They have supported me on my mission experiences and always let me follow my passions with oodles of support. My family is my rock and God is my foundation and we can only go up from there!
I just recently graduated college in a double major with Biblical and Theological studies and Early Childhood education. I hope to be a missionary and a teacher and could be overseas or it could be here in the US. There is a lot of work that needs to be done for the kingdom and I willing to go or stay to bring Him glory. My life verse that I cling to in all things is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” I love this verse because all good things come from God and He knows my heart and wants what is best for me and there is no greater comfort than that.
I am blessed with this yearlong mission trip around the world to be used and give all that I have to others. God gave His life for me and the least I can do is give my life for him. I want to be the hands and feet of Jesus and I am blessed to be able to share my experiences with you!
Thanks for your love, support, and prayers!! I could not do any of this without you and God!
In Him,
Linsey
