SUPPORT… the big word that keeps so many from a life of uncertainty, adventure and just plain crazy living… I don’t want to be one of those people anymore. So I am jumping off of the ledge and praying God will catch me.
All of my life I have prayed for God to show me where He wants me. I’ve asked, begged, cried and argued but I never looked up to notice that He had given me a passion and a specific calling when I was 12! I have been serving in homeless shelters, inner city schools, tutoring, raising money etc, etc, etc… for years and I never really made the connection that God had allowed me to live out the calling He had over my life for almost my entire life. That is AMAZING! It is also amazing that a lot of you reading this have probably had the opportunity to watch me grow up into this passion.
As I was praying a few weeks ago for God to reveal what He expects of me and where He wants me placed, He quietly whispered to me, “where have I always had you? Where is your heart?” I quickly realized that it wasn’t just ministry… it is not just about being able to serve people. I serve people everyday… at work, home, friends and the list goes on. I mean intentional service. Seeing needs and helping fill them.
I have had the chance to help organize a “travelling” homeless shelter of sorts for the past 9 or so years with my dad and the experience has shaped my entire life. Meeting people and hearing their stories is amazing, I truly love it. I also really love being able to remind people that they are treasured, valued individuals despite the place they are in.
I guess what I am getting to is that I am asking for your support on this trip so that I may grow deeper with Christ and so that I can learn how to continue living out this calling of service. I pray that you will consider giving. I have never asked anyone for anything of this magnitude in my life and to be honest with you, I don’t know how to ask. I have never felt special or worthy… I am just Karyn… BUT I serve a mighty God who is going to do with me whatever He wants. I am not going to limit His ability with my disbelief. So here it goes… I’m just believing that my God will provide for me.
Will you be a part of this amazing opportunity??
I truly love you all!
