I guess my story starts about a year and a half ago. It was at that point in my life when i began to feel that God was leading me toward embarking on (what I like to call) an “extended missions trip”. This definitely put a cramp on my life because I had just made an investment on a greenhouse to help my plant business that I have as a side income and that was just one problem. Not to mention that I have been waiting 3 years to date the girl of my dreams, and I would leave the same year that we would be allowed to date.
So I ignored the “feeling” as long as I could, hoping, praying, trying to make it go away and it didn’t. I knew God wanted these areas of my life and I had to give it to him, so one day during a prayer time this past December I surrendered my business and my future relationship to God. If he wants it he can have it. Well, I was very happy i surrendered to God’s will because the very next week my dad went out to my new greenhouse, and it’s new heater had broken-everything was gone! After he had bared the bad news, I instantly knew I needed to start praying and fasting about a missions trip, so for a week my family and I prayed, fasted, and waited to see what would happen next. I didn’t know where to start, so I just began searching for missions trips on the internet. Page after, page after page, i searched. Some were good, but I never felt like it was what God’s will for me was, until I found the World Race Web site. Instantly I knew this is where I needed to be in 2009. I don’t know how I’m going to get the money, and I don’t know what God’s got in store for me next, but I do know that because I’m being faithful to God he’s going to be faithful to me.
