People have always told me that I am a good writer. But sitting here, trying to figure out what to write for my “About Me” section, is something I am really struggling with.
When I was younger, I went to church camps, I helped out during Sunday school, I helped lead vacation bible school… but never did I think that those little things would bring me to writing a World Race blog. Never did I think I would be going on the World Race Gap Year. In October of 2016, while all my friends are starting their new college life, I will be traveling to India, Malaysia, and Zambia and spending three months in each country doing different types of ministry. I would have NEVER thought God was going to use me this way. But I could not be more excited for this adventure.
Now, I could give you a play-by-play of my life. The joys and sorrows, the hardships, the celebrations. But I am not going to do that. I am going to give you just a little glimpse into my life and a little glimpse into my heart.
- I am a senior at Georgetown High School and I love my school! We have so much school spirit, it would make your head spin!
- My brother, Dayton, is a freshman this year and I am so excited to be going to the same school as him! My brother is my lifelong best friend and I am so proud of the person he is growing into! He is such an inspiration and support to me and I really think I would lose my mind if I didn’t have him.
- My mom, Kimberlee, is such a fabulous mom. I am so blessed to have her help keep me level headed. I am so grateful for the feedback she gives me on a daily basis, the things I am doing right, or what I need to improve on.
- This summer, I went to Russia on a mission trip with Hill Country Bible Church Georgetown (shout-out to my crazy awesome small group!) Russia totally changed me. It was in Russia in which I decided I wanted to be a missionary. God used that trip as a door opener for me.
After coming back from Russia, I began to look into different missions organizations and somehow ended up here, writing this “About Me” section. I have abandoned the idea of going straight to college after I graduate. I have abandoned the idea of graduating after four year in 2020, getting my degree, getting a job, and having the typical American life. I have given my life, my love, my future, my sanity, my everything, to God.
God is going to wreck me. And I can’t wait.
