Where to begin the endless wording of who I am. But that is the real question most people tend to ask of themselves, and, somtimes of others as well. Who are we? The simple truth of the matter is, we are nothing by ourselves. We are nothing even with each other, but we are everything with God. So the real question I must ask myself (so that all of you can know a little more about me) is, Who Am I?
I am a 21 year old male who was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1991 to a family of 3; my two amazing parents and my older brother. A younger sister would come 6 years later. I lived there until i was 11 years old until my family moved across country, down to a little town called Winter Haven, Florida. I spent my middle and high school years attending a private school where my dad was the administator and where my mom also taught.
I graduated in 2010 when I was 18 years old and enrolled at a local state college. I attended for 3 semesters and felt like school wasn't really what I was supposed to be doing, and I had always had the desire to join the United States military, so, in August of 2011, I swore to uphold my duties as a soldier in the United States Army as a Cavalry Scout. To make a painfully long story short, I was medically discharged from the service in late April of 2012. Upon returning home, I had no idea where or what I wanted to do. Notice how I said "what I wanted to do" and that was my first mistake. All this time, I had been doing what I wanted and not what God wanted for me, which by the way, is so much better than anything I could think or want. After going to school for another semester, I felt like I had a calling to do work somewhere else, somewhere that would make a difference to others, and not just myself, and that is when I heard about the World Race (Coordinated through Adventures in Missions). A year long missions trip that goes to 11 different countries 11 months out of the year. My life had no direction or purpose it seemed, until I found this trip. My awesome cousin is also going on this trip and that is who I heard it from. I still have no idea where life will take me but I can tell you this; It will be an amazing adventure to go on this trip and will change me for the rest of my life.
"And He said unto them, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature'."
