Ever wonder what’s your purpose in life? I am sure we have all been there… Well, I have been there once too many times.
Every since I was a little girl I wanted to become a doctor… at least that is what my mother would tell me. But, as I grew older and older it changed. I wanted to become a nurse, but, not just any nurse. I wanted to travel to different countries where help was needed and specially countries in central america and Africa. I always had a heart for Africa. For the lost souls but, mainly the children. The ones that have raise their siblings because their mother and father where no longer with them.
My dream was doing just that become a nurse and help the needy in other countries. I moved to Texas in 2005 completely changing my plans… and I thought “oh boy, where have my parents brought us?” Turning my plans upside down and having to start all over. I graduated High School a year late and went to college soon after. I began school and found it really hard and I struggled… A LOT! But, I continued college and then coming home to take care for my brother which was and is my job. Then in 2011 my mom tore a meniscus and I had to put school aside… my dreams came to a halt.
In 2012, I founded myself stuck in every aspect of my life. I began feeling lonely, unwanted, and utterly disgusted with myself. I got sucked into a routine life and I was further and further away from God. Rotting in sin and simply not wanting to do anything with God. Most of my friends were Christians, but none knew who I had become inside. I was drowning and even though I knew God was with me at all times, I did not feel him.
In 2013, things got better. After being reached out to start going to women’s bible study I began opening up. Talking about God and sharing my stories. But, I was still dead in sin. A conference at my new church changed my life and since a seed was planted. But, in all of this the devil made sure I couldn’t see it. I was still dead in sin.
In March of 2014, someone I had only seen a few times, but had heard him pray for the people with such passion and with great authority passed away. It was on a sunday evening when I saw his daughters post of facebook letting everyone know of the tragedy. My heart sank, and I began praying for his family. On the same night there was a youtube video of sermon he had made years ago called “You CANT have IT!” but, I brushed it off and said “I will watch it tomorrow. Its late!” So I went to sleep. The next day on Monday morning I watched it and what happened next changed my life FOREVER!! I cant summarize what he preached so here you go anc check it out. Then continue reading…
I was flat on my face with tears and sobbing and I said to the Lord “Jesus, I want you to have the very very best Jesus! I don’t want my life to amount to nothing, but I want my life to reflect you and I want to SERVE YOU!! I want to place at your feet the most precious crown adorned with the most precious Jewels!” I was still flat on my face and I was broken. That same day I began surfing the web and I came across The World Race. 11 countries in 11 months. After a few days of praying, many confirmation from people who knew me not even a little bit. I made a decision to go for it.
My dream to travel to help the most needy countries is at my fingertips and this time I have the greatest source of healing by my side!! there is only one to praise and that is God! He has been through it all with me. God planted a seed on March 10th, 2014 and my life has forever changed because of it!
Thank You for reading and God Bless You today and always and all of eternity!!
