So I
guess I should tell you who I am. I come from a small town called Lumby in
British Columbia, I have an older brother and sister and a younger sister. I
grew up in a Christian family and always going to church but when I was 15 I
realized I was following my parents faith and not my own, I saw that I hadn’t
given my life to Jesus for a long time I struggled through that not willing to
hand over control and let Jesus truly be my lord and savior it was a tough step
to give Jesus my whole life but all in all I have since been extremely thankful
that I did. I went through high school being a Christian but not really being a
light. after graduating I went on to do three years of bible college which is
were I truly fell in love with Jesus I saw how great life can be when you
follow him that the reward is not simply heaven alone but greater and fuller
life on earth. I am going on the world race because I want to be able to share
the good news of what Jesus has done with others
This year I have some expectations, maybe
expectations isn’t the right word but i think these things will happen:
That I will grow closer to the lord
That will wish and pray that I could
understand more languages than just English.
That I will enjoy and try to
encourage our local contacts
That living in this community may be
tough but that we will push each other to greater heights
That I will question God about the amount
of suffering we will see
I will see God move in ways I haven’t
before
I will realize how much we have and
don’t have in North America (spiritually and economically)
That I will become more okay with
preaching
That there may possibly be a shift
in my thought of the importance and place of social justice within whether it
becomes more or less prominent I don’t know.
That I will become better at
discerning what the spirit says.
That I will grow in faith hope and
love
That my theology will grow and
expand
That it will be way harder and way
easier than I expect
