I’m a control freak.
That’s something the Lord has been reminding me lately. It’s pretty blunt, but true.
I criticize every action of mine until it seems perfect in my own eyes, which sometimes paralyzes me. I criticize other people as if I’m the one in charge of their convictions. Even this post has taken me two whole weeks to start, firstly, because I didn’t want it to make me look bad. But, also, because I’m terrified to start this journey.
I’m a control freak, but my judgments and plans will never be better than God’s.
This upcoming summer, I will be traveling with The World Race Semesters to Romania and Serbia for two months to serve the people there for Jesus. The Semesters program offers many mission trips throughout the year, aligned with a college student’s schedule so they can get involved with what the Lord is doing abroad without neglecting their degree. I’ll be working with ministries already established in those areas, as well as on the streets, to share the good news that I’ve found to heal my own wounds with other broken people.
So, I have large bills to pay for college and no tangible way to cover to cost for this trip, but I’ve decided to follow through with it anyway, because I choose to believe that God can provide in the most beautiful ways when we give up our own control.
I’d love your support on this journey, whether it be financially or, most importantly, prayerfully. If you’d like to donate towards my trip, feel free to do so through the orange donation button on this page. Otherwise, I ask for prayers for provision and peace as I navigate fundraising alongside college classes.
I’ll be documenting my entire experience on this page, so please follow along if you’re interested!
