So… about me…

 
Hello friends! My name is Caitlin but you can call me caiti. I’m 20 years old, I grew up in a little town in southern Idaho. I have a pretty big family I’m the oldest of five. I definitely lucked out as far as families go, my parents are totally in love with Jesus and have been serving him faithfully since before I was born. I have three brothers (Ian, Luc, and Josh) and one sister (Kelsi), they’re all pretty hilarious and I love ’em a whole lot

 
   I’ve been taught all about the bible my entire life but it wasn’t until these past three years that the Lord has made himself real in my life. I spent a lot of time trying become a better person when I was younger, I tried really hard to adhere to a list of rules and regulations that I thought constituted a “good Christian” lifestyle. I guess I thought being good was the fruit of the spirit when really it was just me trying to earn God’s love. I didn’t understand what it means to have complete faith in Jesus. I’m so glad that the Lord is teaching me about resting in Him and having full faith in His Son not only to save me, but also to transform me.
 After I graduated high school I went to Calvary Chapel Bible College, which provided me with the opportunity to spend a few semesters abroad studying God’s Word and being a part of missions and ministry. I lived in Spain for one semester and Hungary for two and it was AMAZING! I loved every second of my time in Bible College and I’m so grateful that God blessed me with that time to really seek Him and understand more about Him and His heart.

  My desire for this trip is really to fall more in love with Jesus, to see Him reveal Himself through the people I meet, and the experiences ill be a part of. I just want God to show me how to have a heart like His. His unconditional, unfailing love never ceases to amaze me. With so much pain and injustice in the world I’m excited about this opportunity to bring the message of that love to the broken and weary, and to be emptied of myself and lost in Him in the process. I just know it’s going to be an incredible, scary, wonderful, stretching experience. I seriously cannot wait!!
