Okay, I have no idea how to write a blog. How to make everything I do seem really interesting and super hipster all at the same time. What I do know though is I’m about to embark on the craziest, hardest, and most amazing adventure of my entire life and I’m excited to share my heart with everyone.
If ever you’re looking for a shining example of God’s grace, here I am. I’ve been down, broken, prideful and disobedient. But God picked me up, shook me off, showered me with grace and gave me a new life. A life in Him. Where I am constantly in awe of His love and power. Honestly I look back and wonder how I ever made it this far. But the truth is, even when I didn’t know He had my back, He was always there.
1 Corinthians 15:10
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace towards me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”
This isn’t a story about me though. This is a story about an amazing and loving God. A God who wants his children to go out and make a difference. He saved me for a reason. It wasn’t just so that I could live a better life, it was so that I could go out into the world and spread His love. I have spent too much of my life being selfish and giving into my own desires, and it’s time for me to make a difference. To put Gods plan in front of everything, and one thing I know is to listen when He calls.
I had the privilege of going to The International Conference On Missions this weekend and it was amazing. To be surrounded by thousands of people who love God as much as I do and who are committed to making a difference in His name. To be in a room of thousands of people bearing their souls to Worship our one true God. If there is one thing that I learned though, it’s this:
What we do matters.
We alone can’t change the world, but we aren’t alone. God is with us always, and He is using us in His plans. To be honest, I’ve never been on a mission before and I have no idea what I’m doing. But He does, and He’s the one guiding me. I just have to show up, be faithful, do my best, and love others.
This is about to be a long and hard journey, and I invite you all to join me. To be there with me through my struggles and triumphs. To read my crazy blogs even when it seems like I’m just ranting. (Which let’s be honest, is probably going to be pretty often…) I would also ask you to support me. Whether financially or through prayer, it matters. If you would like to support me financially, just click on the link on the left and you can give from there, and let me tell you, every amount matters. If you aren’t able to support me financially (and I completely understand!) , please pray for me. Pray that God gives me guidance through preparation and more than that, that I keep him as my focus always. I love you all dearly and I can’t wait for this journey 🙂
