Pretty unique title right? Well I didn’t want to start off vague, but instead dive right in. I am a twenty-one year old girl who really isn’t sure about anything in the world other than growing my relationship with the Lord. I was going to Kennesaw State University but decided this past spring to take a break from the stress and non-motivation I was getting from school. I didn’t have a drive because I had no idea what I was doing there. I had dreams on becoming a veterinarian for years because I wanted to help animals, I was told all the time growing up the compassion I had for them. That dream quickly diminished once I found out it took more than a semester of college to become this top notch veterinarian. Excuse me, what?! So I changed over to communications because I love talking to people. It’s a weird obsession of mine, I am constantly wanting to know new people and what it is about them that makes them so special. We all have a gift, it’s just following in the Lord’s footsteps to show us. That’s why I am here.
I feel this calling in my life where I am supposed to be talking to a big group of people and helping. Stage fright isn’t necessarily an issue I have in my life, I find it fulfilling being in a big group of people sharing information that could help benefit them in a BIG way. I want to be able to speak volumes to people, but I also want to say the right things and the thing the Lord has put in my heart. To go on this trip, I would be leaving a lot of things behind. Important things like my awesome supportive family, my new job that I just started two months ago and fell in love with, my loving friends who want me to be happy, and of course my home where I know I can be safe there at all time. But I think about all the things I could be doing to help people and none of those things make me want to stop and turn around, but it makes me want to continue on this journey and go. For any of you who isn’t sure what the heck it is I am talking about. It’s called The World Race. This is an 11 month mission trip where I would be traveling around the world to 11 different countries and experiencing what the first generations of disciples did; feeding the country, healing the sick, and hearing the voice of God. We take the love of Jesus and share it with those who need it most: this includes unreached people who haven’t heard of Jesus before, helping in orphanages, helping people who are trapped in sex trafficking, talking to people in prisons, and the undernourished. This is what I want to give up everything for, and not everyone understands. It is where I am called to go right now, and who am I to not follow. I will be throwing away my own selfishness to help people who truly need it and I would be doing it in a Christian way, and that is a blessing in itself.
I have always had a relationship with the lord, I grew up going to Woodstock’s First Baptist, and thankfully my parents let me find my own Faith in HIM. If it wasn’t for the people who pushed me(not forced), to continue growing my relationship and pursing the Lord I wouldn’t be here talking to you about his amazing opportunity. I wouldn’t have gotten through my hardships, overcome my struggles, and be praising the one and only. So, I thank you to whoever reading this because you have impacted my life in the best way. Whether I know you or not, or even if you know me or not, you’ve helped me. Thank you so much.
Because this trip is a one in a life time experience, I am having to raise money to pursue moving forward! The goal I need to reach will cover all my expenses for the 11 months I am gone. Any donations would help, so if all you can afford is .50 cents than I am .50 cents more thankful!! Anything helps. You can hit the ‘Donate’ button through my blog or if you prefer checks than you can use the address listed below. Again thank you so much, for your help and your prayers while I go on this crazy adventure the Lord is calling me towards.
PS: if you wanna keep up with where I am at and what I am experiencing you can subscribe for updates on my profile, I’d love to share with you. Bye for now peeps!
