God has always been a part of my life. Growing up in a christian home I was constantly being exposed to who God was and how much He loved me. Just like any other christian I've had my fair share of ups and downs. I've praised God and I've also turned my back on Him. If there's one thing I've learned through the years is that God is good and He is there with me until the very end. He has been shaping me through my sufferings, and even through my rebellion.
Being in my last year of University I was constantly worrying about my future. I didn't know where I was going or what I was going to do. Sometimes I questioned who I really was. But God knew.
John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last… "
Isaiah 43: 1 "… Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; YOU ARE MINE."
In the last few months of 2011 God broke me. He took things and people away from me that had become idols in my life. It was beautiful because it was only then that I was able to get a glimpse into His Kingdom. Helen H Lemmel said it perfectly in her Hymn
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
in the light of His glory and grace."
His majesty brought me to me knees. I knew there was no other way to live than to serve and Honor Him. So I started searching missions trip and came across this one. At first I thought it was too much for me to handle. I thought I wasn't strong enough or good enough to do something like this. But then He reminded me…
Philippians 4:13 " I can do everything through Him who gives me strength "
So who am I? I am a daughter of Christ. I have inherited His kingdom and I am ready to share it with the world.
