I'm a very indecisive person. When I say this, I mean really indecisive. This doesn't necessarily apply to everything in life, but if I have a big decision to make, I almost always ask as many people as possible for their opinions. I tend to be logical, but then there's also something inside of me that is just the opposite. As a result, I have a very difficult time making up my mind about a lot of things.
Missions are the one thing in my life that I'm NOT indecisive about. I am certain.
A lot of kids have a certain profession in mind that they want to be when they "grow up;" I never really had that as a child. Of course, I did have a childhood dream of becoming a professional dancer, specifically a Rockette, but that got shot down pretty early on since I realized I'd never meet the height requirement! Even though I never had a career plan, I always loved learning about other people and cultures. My favorite classes in school were always the ones that taught me the most about people who were different than me. I think that's probably part of the reason why I ended up being a psychology major: because I love to learn about different kinds of people. God placed that passion for others inside of me long before I ever went on my first mission trip.
When I was 17, I went on my first mission trip to the Dominican Republic. I didn't realize it then, but that is when God began molding and transforming my heart for the world. Different hardships I experienced from that point on were all used, not only to draw me closer to Him, but also to make me more able to give my life to His mission and making disciples of all nations. When I went to Kenya for the first time (in 2009 at age 20), I fell in love with the people there, so choosing to go back in 2010 didn't even require thinking! The second time I went, I fell even more in love – not only with the people of Kenya, but also with my teammates and the amazing God that we serve.
Since then, God has been shaping my heart for the WHOLE world (not just my "favorite" places), and He has provided me with opportunities to share His Word with others right here in the U.S. He has placed love in my heart towards believers and non-believers. He has allowed me to feel pain because of the state of this world we live in. He has truly broken my heart for the things that break His. Most importantly, God has given me the desire to become more and more like Him every day. The best way that He has shown me to do that is to abide by 1 John 2:6 – "Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did." Go out and touch the "untouchables," raise the dead, deny myself, follow Him, and be a part of awakening a Holy revival throughout the world!
I don't just think I'm called to missions. I know I am. And that's why I go.
