A year ago today, I vividly remember sitting in the library, struggling to study for my first round of college finals. I remember thinking to myself “man how amazing would it be to take a semester off and be apart of something bigger”. Little did I know, one year later I would be preparing myself to take a semester off and make that dream a reality.
When I tell people I’m taking a semester off of school and leaving the country, they are shocked, but man have I felt so much love and support from each and every person. Throughout this semester, I really felt God pulling on my heartstrings and leading me towards missions. I had NEVER done anything like this before and I kept questioning if this was really what God was telling me to do. How was I supposed to just uproot my life at Texas A&M and leave everything I’ve come to know here? How do I leave my family and friends for three months?
As I began planning my schedule for the spring semester, something just didn’t feel right, so I spontaneously decided to fill out an application… because why not? I decided to just put my circumstances into God’s hands and see where he wanted me to be. I have never really been a spontaneous person. As I spend these last two months in Texas, I am soaking up my time with friends and family and just really appreciating all life has to offer. This new journey is going to be a HUGE lifestyle change for me and I can’t wait to share this adventure with everyone!
