First. Blog. Ever.
I don’t even know how to do this…I don’t really even know what the word blog means… Like is it a combination of 2 words? What words? Hold on a sec while I google it. Ok that’s a little disappointing. Hopefully my “weblog” will be a little more creative and entertaining than how the word “blog” was created… 
Drum roll please………
In about 10 months I’ll be embarking on a new adventure, and I couldn’t be more excited! For 11 months I’ll be traveling with World Race to 11 different countries, serving wherever I am needed. I love that I’ll be leaving the real adult world and just following God wherever He leads.
Let me give you the Cliffnotes version of how God brought me here. I was raised in the good ol’ Southern Baptist church culture, where I was introduced to missions via *G.A.’s and some missionary family friends. I grew up knowing, loving, and growing in God’s plan for my life…then the teenage years hit. Simply put: I wrestled with God. I knew what was best for my life, and I took over. He let me. Messes were made, and God broke my heart to bring me back to Him. I thank Him every day that He did. Add a little age, a little wisdom, and a lot of learning lessons the hard way…and that basically brings you up to date. These past couple of years have been a FANTASTIC ride of walking blindly and trusting wherever God leads. This trip is not only me following God… it is me chasing after Him. I cannot wait to see how He will grow me and where He will take me!
*side note* no…G.A.’s is not “gas” and don’t even bother googling it because you won’t figure out what it stands for unless you speak Southern Baptist! But 2 points for you if you know that it stands for “Girls in Action”
