So I’m Evie, at least that’s what most people call me. I come from a huge family, and trust me when I say HUGE. I have 6 siblings, 4 of which are married. This also means I have quite a few nieces and nephews, more nieces than nephews I’m afraid. My littlest nephew, Dean, has HLHS (a severe heart defect) and love him so much already. I live in Virginia, I pretty much always have; it’s my home. I’m only 18, so I just graduated from high school. I’m shy but stubborn (it’s an odd mix) I sometimes get angry with things I know I can’t control. So I guess you could say I have a bit of a temper, but I’m working on it, or rather God is working on it. There are so many different paths I could take with my life, so many things I could spend the rest of my doing, that I’m having a hard time deciding. I love doing hair, I’m actually almost a licensed cosmologist (hopefully in the next week or so!) so I cut hair, style hair, braid hair, you name it, I probably do it. I also like math (that’s right I said it!), especially calculus, or at least all the calculus I’ve learned so far. I’m quite the bookworm, historical fiction is my absolute favorite. So like I said, I’m not really sure how to line up what I enjoy doing with God’s calling and plan for my life. Which brings me to The World Race; Gap Year. It just matched so perfectly with what I was thinking and feeling that I knew this is where God is calling me right now. I knew I had to go, so here I am. I’m kind of a jumble of emotions. I’m excited, scared, determined, and everything in between. Fundraising is definitely going to stretch me. I know deep down that God is going to provide, but getting my brain to believe is tough. Please pray for me, pray that God would prepare my heart and mind for this trip.
