One thing you should know about me is that I’m a home body. I love being around my family, and I love to be in a some what comfortable state of living. As you can imagine this year has kind of shook that “way of living” out of me.
When first leaving on the WR I did not expect to love it; I was simply being obedient.
Well long story short, it has turned out to been the craziest, hardest, funnest year of my life.
Month 7, we had a cool opportunity as a squad. We had a group of Exposure girls, ages 18-22 come join us on the field for a month. At first I wondered how it would be? I had just got put on a new team, and then a whole new group of girls added to that… It kind of freaked me out. Even though I didn’t know what to expect, I was super excited and knew awesome things were going to take place that month. Turns out that this was one of my favorite months on the race. I loved talking, and getting to know these girls all month. Shout out to Hannah, Paige and Joy! The Lord showed me a lot that month; like how this age group is super fun. It was so cool hearing there stories and relating to them. It was awesome encouraging them and them encouraging me! The Lord stirred something up in me. He put a passion in my heart for these group of girls and for this age group of people. I knew I wanted to do something more . During this month God showed me I was going to be on the field longer than just these 11 months. I never would of expected it. This meant I couldn’t go back to the comfort of home that I loved so much. Here’s the cool thing, I didn’t even care. I had a sweet Joy!
Adventures in missions (which is what the WR is under) has so many cool programs; one of them being a Passport trip. A three month long trip that focus’ on one country. Not only that, but the age group is 18-22 year olds. Amazing.
Well fast forward three months and I have been given the awesome opportunity to lead a passport trip this JANUARY. Yep that’s right… This January. Exactly 2 months after I get home from the WR.
You see, before the race, there would of been no way. My plan was to count down the months until I could be back home with my family, working, and hanging out with old friends. But God is funny that way.
He has stirred a passion so deep within me this year for the nations that I can not and do not want to shake! I find my joy in seeing the kids all around the world smile. I love the lost and the broken because I get to tell them about Jesus; our only hope. I have seen miracles this year. I have seen people hear about Jesus for the first time in their lives this year. This is why I go. Does it still make me nervous? Yes, but I don’t want to live any other way. It’s worth it and I can not stop at any cost.
I still have 6 weeks left on the WR race, and my prayer is that I am 100% present everyday. I know these two countries need Jesus just as much as the other places I have been, so please keep me in your prayers.
With that being said, would you also stand in prayer for me as I prepare to leave again in January. I know mission trips cost money, and I am so thankful for you guys. I know I would not be here if it wasn’t for your support and prayers.
In order for me to leave in January I need $1,800. Would you consider donating $5, $10 or $50 towards this mission?
