Hello to anyone who may read this! I am going to start off by letting you know if grammar and punctuation mistakes annoy you, stop reading. If you can tough it out then I hope you stick around because my story and what God has planned for me with this journey is only just beginning!
I am 29! This number intimidates me. What have I accomplished?Who am I in the world? What am I going to do with the rest of my life? What do I want to go to school for? Is there a point in even going back to finish if I have no idea what I want to do? Am I living a life pleasing to God? Am I someone my parents are proud of? The world we live in makes it so easy to feel so much pressure when you don’t follow the step by step path laid out in front of us by our parents or “everyone else”.
Well, I will be the first to admit that I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MY LIFE IS GOING! BUT! …. yes this is a very important BUT… I know that I have to listen and seek guidance from God. I can’t lean on my own understanding or on whats right for everyone else! We are all unique and have our own calling.
So, even though my “about me” won’t have things that define me like a degree, or professional title, or a mother or anything that may make me seem like my life hasn’t been a waste of time, there are things that I can say that do describe me.
About me:
I AM- a child of God, christian, sensitive, sarcastic, passionate, forgiving, loving, a sinner, a traveler, an optimist at times and sadly a pessimist at others, spontaneous, forgiving, sometimes hot tempered. I love children. My brothers are the world to me. I OVERTHINK! I make mistakes. I am forever changed by my love for missions. I try to live my life according to what I feel God is directing me towards. I fail often, but then I get back up. I trust in God. I have faith in God. I know HIS PLANS for my life are far greater than any plan “the world” tells me I need to be working towards!
What he says I am:
LOVED. NEW AGAIN. FREE. NO SLAVE TO SIN. A SAINT. RIGHTEOUSNESS. A NEW CREATION. HIS CHILD. HIS WORKMANSHIP. CHOSEN. AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. A PEOPLE OF HIS OWN POSSESSION. FRIEND. DAUGHTER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH. FEARFULLY MADE. CHILD OF LIGHT. AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST. WONDERFULLY MADE. GOD’S FEET. COMPLETE. HOLY. DOER OF THE WORD. A PARTAKER OF HIS DIVINE NATURE. JOINT-HEIR WITH CHRIST. PART OF A CHOSEN GENERATION. REDEEMED. GOD’S VOICE. GREATLY LOVED.
I have been given a heart and passion for missions and travel. God wired me that way, and he has a plan for me. A plan that makes me more than a 29 yr old female who hasn’t finished her associates and has no idea which direction her future career path is headed. More than a single- not yet married woman with no children. More than a nanny, preschool teacher, or babysitter. More than a daughter, a sister, a step sister, a cousin,a niece, a friend. I am all these but I am also still being made. He loves me and wants whats best for me. He gave me the passions and desires that are in my heart and is waiting to show me why. I am ready for this journey with him!
Isaiah 6:8
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send Me!”
