If you couldn’t tell by the title of this, I’m SO excited to go on this Gap Year in September!! I remember last year in September God put going on a Gap Year in my heart but I pretty much laughed and thought He was crazy for even allowing me to think of such a thing. I thought to myself “My mom would NEVER be okay with me missing my first year of college to be gone for a year with people I don’t even know!” So, I put it to the back of my head for about 6 months until God put it on my heart again, but this time I was determined to go! I knew if this was what God really wanted for me, He would make a way. I began constantly praying about it, feeling so much joy whenever I would think about it. One night I went into my moms room and started pouring my heart out to her about this trip and how desperatly I wanted to go. After I finished talking, my mom told me that she was so proud of me for wanting to do this…wait…WHAT?! I was not expecting that at all! (Not because she would’t be proud of me but because I thought she would have at least put up a fight with me about college!) After that talk with my mom I felt so much peace and boy was I thankful to God that He had softened her heart to being okay with me going. SO! Now here I am, writing my first blog entry, waiting for September 1st so I can begin this journey with Jesus!
Once again, ahhhhh, I can’t wait!!
Lots of love,
Jasmine
