So since you guys don't know a whole lot about me I wanted to give a short testimony for whats been going on in my life lately. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in May 2012 with a Bachelors of Science. I had no clue what that meant or what I wanted to do with my life. Right after I graduated I was accepted into grade school at UALR for Social Work. Two weeks after graduating I left to work at a Summer Camp in Rogers, AR called Camp War Eagle. With nothing to loose and everything to gain as a young newly graduated adult, I set out to change the world.
I got to camp and begin work from May until August. It was such a great summer. I was completely alone, I knew no one apon my arrival to camp and had no cell phone or any form of communication to the outside world. Once I was alone with my thoughts with no outside influence I begin to hear God clearly. (I am a very planned person, have everything planned out with no spaces for error) God begin to reveil to me that he wanted me to let go of everything I thought I had planned and trust him to do whatever he wanted. For me this was one of the hardest things I had ever had to do. Giving up control as if I thought I ever had any anyway was so scary to me. I dropped out of Graduate School and had no plan. I felt a huge pull to move to North West Arkansas and had such a peace about moving there. I got done with camp and had no plan but to move. God provided me with a job and a house and some of the sweetest time I had ever had with him. I then knew God didn't call me to a 8-5 office job but to do something big. There was a reason he asked me to get rid of comfort, to move and have no plan but why? I stumbled upon the world race website in early September thinking this could be what God is calling me to. I appled not thinking I would ever be able to do something this great and I prayed so much for it to be Gods will. As the world race leader called me and offered me a spot on the team I knew this is what God was preparing me for. Since I have made my decision to go on the World Race, Satan has tried his best to ruin my spirit, my heart and my passion for this trip, my team and God. I have had more days that I have been discouraged than encouraged and more days of crying and feeling like I can't do this then days that I thought I could but I know if my God called me to this there is no way he wouldn't get me through it. I take it as a huge compliment that things aren't going my way and that this is hard because that means Satan is scared of what God wants to do with me and in having hard times I think I get closer to God being able to experience troubles and having to rely on him. He is teaching me so much and taking me through hard times now so when I am on the field and on the world race I know how to dependent on him because he is the only thing worth depending on. |
