Esther 4:14b
Perhaps you were…CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Queen Esther is my all time favorite person in Scripture outside of Jesus. She had such amazing FAITH. There was a point on Queen Esther’s mission where she had to choose to COMPLETELY depend on her Jesus, go outside of her comfort zone, and risk it all. Her answer to that was…if I perish, then I perish. Oh mercy I pray to have the boldness and faith of Esther. It was not a coincidence that she was the one who became Queen. It was a Godincidence, Jesus had a plan and that was just the beginning of Queen Esther’s Mission. The reason we know who Queen Esther is today is because of her obedience to her Jesus and her LOVE for her people. Queen Esther is still celebrated today at the Feast of Purim every year for saving her people, the Jews. Can you believe it? A young Jewish girl saved her entire people all because she was OBEDIENT and LOVED her Jesus.
I love my Jesus too. That is why I am so excited to announce…… In January, I will be going on the World Race. I will be going to 11 countries in 11 months. I can’t help but tell you that I know for sure that I am called for such a time as this.
Let me tell you about my journey so far, I grew up in the Christian school and this is where my love for Jesus started. I have known for a really long time that I was called to children however, I did not know exactly what I was specifically called to! In High school we had this project called Missions Around the World, we would divide into 4 groups and over night we would turn our gym into 4 different parts of the world, I tell you all of that to say this my senior year in high school I chose to do Puerto Rico and I was able to contact a missionary, I would talk to them for about 30 min. every day and the last thing they told me was this….. Miss Brittanie we have been on the mission field for 10 years and last week we were able to watch 1 little girl accept Jesus into her heart, if that is all we see while we are here we have served our purpose. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it because I know I was that little girl for my church in Minerva, Ohio. Makes me thankful for the faithfulness of every person who has sewed into my life in some way. Fast forward to 4 years later, I have been serving in my home town with the kiddos. All ages from babies to teenagers you name it I have done it. I just love every minute I get to spend working for my Jesus. A couple of the highlights have been…… teaching some of my littles to pray and say thank you Jesus, jamming out in the car to Jesus music on the way to school, memorizing literally over 100 Bible verses with some of the older kids, and writing Bible stories to make them STAND out to the kiddos. I have enjoyed every minute and I have learned so much!
Next step in my KINGDOM Journey, One night out of literally nowhere I decided to search the internet for missions trips. So the world race popped up, and since your reading this you can imagine what happened next…. I applied fell asleep half way through applying, finished it up the next morning. Honestly, After that it has been nothing but JESUS…….I was accepted and committed and now I am working on my fundraising. I have fallen in love with serving my Jesus and I am thrilled to be able to say Yes to the WORLD RACE. I have the perfect peace of Jesus. And with all of the Doors flying open and things just falling into place……. I know 100% that I AM CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!!!!!!!
I just keep thinking about Queen Esther and how Jesus did not promise it was going to be easy, He just promised to stay right beside me. Yes, I am going on complete faith just like Queen Esther and I don’t really have all the answers…… but who does? As Long as I stay in the center of His will and way for my life I will be just fine. After all Jesus HOLDS THE FUTURE in HIS HANDS. I can’t wait to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Queen Esther and Britt Nicole have something in common, Just girls with really big hearts for there Jesus.
Called for such a time as this

What shall we then say to these things if GOD be for us than WHO can be against us!
