Its hard to begin an 'about me section' without first doing my best to describe the One who made me this way.
I cannot begin to describe the journey thus far that I have done with my friend/savior/lover/healer. To recount every step would be a book in and of itself. All I can say is that I'm so much more in love with Him today than I was when we started this relationship.
In a past filled with pain and loneliness the only person that stayed faithful was the one who loved me the most…Jesus. WOW, what a name! That name brings such peace, but at the same time makes the very gates of Hell tremble and shake. That's my King!
I think about where He's brought me from, the diseases He's healed me from, and the trials He's brought me through. All the while thinking that He must love me more than anyone else. He must think very highly of me to put me through those difficult times that made me the person I am today. Please know my heart. I realize He loves you just as much 🙂 no matter who you are or what you've done. It's an awing revelation to think God doesn't have to divide Himself up amongst every individual, but that He can actually give ALL of Himself to EVERYONE just as if they were indeed the only one. Try and wrap your head around that. Can't? No worries! I can't either. Who wants to worship a god you can fully understand?! Wouldn't be much of a god if you ask me.
The places He's taken me and the adventures He's led me on have been insane. I never thought in my wildest dreams He would be doing in my life what He's doing now. I mean, I'm one of those people who at one time had it all planned out. I was going to graduate college and become the next Donald Trump. I never wanted to actually get my hands dirty in the work of God, but rather help from a distance. It was then that God planted in my heart to travel out of my comfort zone and move to Australia to study at Hillsong college. It was there that my world and my view of God was completely shattered. I had this legalistic mindset and saw in myself a religious person rather than a Father/son relationship with my God. While I believed in mercy and grace I didn't understand it. I stuck to what was easier and that was a set of rules. I'll still say a set of rules was a lot easier to follow. A relationship is just too messy, but it's definitely where I prefer to be. And it has indeed been a messy relationship but all the more fulfilling.
I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life. I'm excited to be stripped even further of my religious stereotypes and let God show me who He really is. I've been told this trip is very testing and uncomfortable taking us away from our abundant comforts we take for granted such as a clean restroom or shower. I sometimes think that I hinder God from doing a work in my life because I rely on other things so much. I want to be placed in such a state of depravity that it collides directly with His divinity. What a beautiful collision that would be!
So here I go…11 countries in 11 months and if just one life is reached then it's all worth it. Please Please Please feel free to contact me anytime. I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you have about this crazy insane journey I'm about to embark on. Also, if you'd like to support me just click on the Support Me tab on the left of the screen under my picture. It would be much appreciated and I know God will multiply your gift.
