…and decided to leave everything and everyone I know and love for a year.

 

For those of you who know me this will be a reminder and for those of you I haven’t yet met here is me.

I am:

Determined

Hard-Headed

Stubborn

Quick to make decisions

Trusting (sometimes overly so)

and the list goes on.

Each of these traits has gotten me into (and out of) many sticky situations. Despite all of my character flaws, one thing my parents have always taught me is to follow my heart. They showed me that my head can be manipulated and my mind can be made up and changed, but my heart comes from God. I may be all of these things but God loves me and will use me in His world anyway.

God has placed a need to help on my heart for so long that I could no longer deny it. The reason I went “crazy” is simply because I want to help and love on people. I want to show the desperate that there is hope. I want to help feed the hungry. I want to be God’s hands in this world. I want God to use this stubborn, hard-headed girl for His glory. Its as simple as that.
