So I’ve gotten a lot of questions asking what I’m thinking about doing when I get home.
I’ve been asking myself that exact same question.
Well, when I get home I’m going to live at home in the summer but I’m moving in with my best friend Sam and two of her friends. We got an apartment in Cedar Falls so I’ll be moving sometime in August, which is super exciting. I’ll look for a job when I get back but I’m not sure what job.
Something that’s always been on my heart is prison ministry. My dad works at the State Training School in Eldora and I’ve always wanted to go there and just talk with the people. My dad is a security guard so he said it wouldn’t be the best idea for teenage girl to go in and talk with teenage guys that haven’t seen a girl my age for a while. Understandable. But I still always wanted to go.
For the last couple of months I’ve been thinking about people who are in prison and how lost they must feel. They are stuck in a small room just thinking about whatever’s on their minds. I don’t know about you but if I sit by myself and think for too long I go bananas. So I want you to put yourself in their shoes and think about what they probably think about and how they’re feeling.
Sadness, anger, regret, hopelessness, scared, lost, confused and so much more. You fill in the blank.
And the sad thing is, most of them probably don’t have a relationship with the Lord. They might not even know who Jesus is and what He’s done for them. So I would like to bring the Good News to some of the darkest places on earth.
I’m still not positive about it because I don’t want to take my focus off of the race and what I’m doing in these moments of my life. I’m pretty chill about it, whatever happens happens I guess. But I’m excited for what the Lord has for me 🙂
