When people ask what classes I’m going to take in Fall 2016, or where I plan to transfer to, or how many classes till my associates I answer them all with the same sentence:
“I’m going to take a year off and go on a 9 months mission trip to Thailand, Malawi, and Guatemala”
I get so many weird looks, mainly because people believe this is just another Jazlyn crazy statement about Africa and living with orphans. The reality is that this is my reality, that this is where I am being sent, this is where God is going to use me to make a difference in lives that I would have never met anyways.
Once people, skeptically, begin to process the fact that I will be leaving they all ask the same question; WHY?
The why is still unknown to me, and I think will be unknown to me until Im living on the race. What I do know is that I was given this restlessness and a lack of being content with the world today. I dont’ want to just look at pictures of kids hungry, or people living in destitution, I want to go there, see these people, talk with these people; love these people. For why I have been chosen to live this life is unknown, but it will beautiful. Peace and blessings.
