Just over five months ago, I came home from the World Race. An experience that radically changed the way I live my life day to day. Since I have been home I have been hearing God telling me to go, to move. But when I would ask where, I would get no answer. This made me frustrated and all too often I was letting the devil whisper into my ear that I wasn’t good enough. I was slowly slipping into my old habits and not really caring anymore.
Back in November, I went to Georgia for a wedding and as I was down in Georgia, I was able to talk to some people that work at AIM (Adventures in Missions) about how I was feeling and what I could do next. Life was spoken into me and I was also encouraged to come join the team down at AIM for a season. When December rolled around, I was ready to go, to move, to become more of the person that God created me to be, and to be more confident in the gifts that God has given me. The devil is not going to hold me back anymore because I am God’s Chosen.
I decided to step out in faith not knowing exactly what this next season would look like or what exactly I would be doing. On January 6th, I moved down to Gainesville, Georgia and on the 9th, I started an intership with AIM. With a bit of shuffling and trying to figure out what department I was going to work in, I was finally placed in Adventures Encounter. I trust that God has placed me exactly where He wants me.
In the Encounter program, I will be developing short term, family and custom mission trips. The Encounter program gives people an amazing opportunity to step out of the American life style, having their hearts broken for the people of this world. They will find an avenue to explore their calling, passion, experience adventure, and develop a deeper relationship with Christ.
I am excited for what this next season holds for me but I cannot do this alone.
