People always ask us what we want to do with our lives, what we want to do when we grow up. I always, ALWAYS thought my answer was so vague, but would respond the same every time nonetheless : I want to travel and I want to create a positive impact in the world.
It’s only now I’m realizing that it always SEEMED vague and without consequence and unattainable because I didn’t know the Lord or His plans for me.
Now things are more clear than ever and I’m finding out I’ve really known my WHOLE life what I wanted to do – missions.
Before I knew Jesus, my life was a lie. I was many things – ambitious and driven, but also manipulative and self-absorbed. I was drowning, flailing and floundering in a sea of my own lies and trying to hide behind ulterior motives. I was out to get attention, acceptance and convinced myself I needed it in order to be happy.
I have been so blessed these past few years, learning about the hope I have in the Lord who has redeemed me from the deepest and darkest holes and constantly and passionately pursued my heart and my life since before I was born.
This mission trip is just another blind leap of faith in Him, trusting my path because He has called me to be bold in sharing the story that brought me back to life.
