Well Here goes my first blog! Senior year is coming to an end fast and I have a bad case of senoritis. High school has been amazing to me from some of my high points such as being selected as team captain of the football team and student body president to some of my low points such as breaking my collarbone, thus missing a large portion of my senior year football season and any homework I ever got in high school. Although every one tells me high school might be the greatest time of you life I am ready to move on to much bigger and better things. High school was awesome and I learned so much in the classroom and out, life lessons I will never forget. As my High school days do come to an end I am left with the question of ‘What next?’ and I have prayed and thought a lot about that question, and although I have known since I was young I wanted to go to college and become a youth pastor I have felt that god is calling me in a much different direction first. I feel god has very much influenced me to pursue the World Race Gap Year I was able to apply and be accepted into a route which will take me to Haiti, Dominican Republic, Botswana, South Africa, and the Philippines and although I am very nervous I know it is a leap of faith that God will protect and help me with. I have been blessed to have parents that introduced me to God so early. All my life people have told me how, ‘God has huge plans for me.’ and ‘God is really working in you.’ I feel privileged that people believe this and I know I need to use my skills and characteristics to spread Gods love. I feel a missions trip like this would be life changing and to be able to go out, explore and spread Gods love through out his kingdom sounds like a dream to me. I am so close to being able to fulfill this dream but I need help fundraising desperately I am working very hard to raise the money but need all the support I can get. I pray that I can gain the support and Financial needs in order to go on this trip and if I am able to go on the trip I know my life would be changed for ever and hopefully I could positively affect others lives.
