This past year has not been easy by any means, and the decision to take a year off of college was not any easier. Leaving nursing school, my friends, my family, and my full sized bed for 9 months was never in my “5 Year Plan” or in any thought when envisioning my future. But that’s the fun of the future, right? It’s all out of your hands and in the hands of the Lord. God has a plan for me and I have full faith in Him and his guidance for giving me this opportunity I cannot turn down.
For anyone who is still confused as to my plans this upcoming year, I am taking a leave of absence from Penn State to complete a 9 month missions trip across the globe through an amazing organization, Adventures in Missions and the World Race. God has called on me and I have answered! I will be leaving in September to begin my journey traveling through Ecuador, Colombia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Albania while serving the Lord and his mission. I have no words to express my excitement for this opportunity and I hope you all are as well.
I am overwhelmed with your love and support of this decision, and I thank you all in advance for your constant strength, guidance, and comfort through a frightening yet wonderful time. I pray that you all follow me through this journey and grow with me as well.
