Hey there my name is Miriam Scholl (Myra) Mira for short.
I will be going to India in July 🙂
I feel more awkward typing this than I am in real life haha. So lets do this QA style
Where do you live?
Rio Rancho, New Mexico
How did I hear about World Race?
So around 2015 A girl in our young adult ministry was going and I thought it was the craziest thing and never really thought about it again. That was until I started seeing what God was doing through her in photos and videos. Then all of a sudden I saw World Race everywhere on Social Media.
What would you say has been the biggest God moment for you?
So I was in this relationship with this guy for a very long time from 2014-2016, and I made him my everything. At the time I was attending our College age ministry at Sagebrush and going to small group and acting the part in front where I was supposed to. Deep down I just became more and more unhappy in my relationship, he didn’t attend church with me. The things that made him charming were the things I started detesting. While at my small group I actually became vulnerable and talked about what was going on. That peeled back the layer that opened the flood gates. One night I couldn’t sleep I was tossing and turning my mind was running a thousand miles per minute, I knew God was telling me to breakup with him. I didn’t want to because it was hard, I called everyone I knew and told them and sought advice all of them advised me to breakup. Honestly I was hoping someone even one person would tell me to stay. No one did, looking back I’m glad no one did too. So that morning I skipped class and cried all day and in the evening broke it off. From that moment on even though I was so heart broken I told God okay, I am done trying to live for myself. So today I am doing just that. I got baptized, I attend church, I host my own small group, I have grown so close to God like never before. Thank you God for shaking me up.
Why have did I decide to do World Race Semesters?
Right now I am graduated with my Associates in Fine arts AA Studio Arts, and back when I was in school I wanted to become famous and sell my art and make a lot of money. Then God showed me who he is and I just wanna make him famous now. its not about me anymore. Even seeking a job that follows my degree feels wrong at this part in my life. I have done three mission trips up to this point and everyone one I have been on, God has showed me his power and how he provides and loves all his children. I saw World Race Semesters on Instagram and had not heard about yet I researched it, and just felt God nudge me to apply, So I did and truly prayed if this is what he wants for me he’ll do the work. So here I am 🙂
Biggest Fear for going to India for a month?
Leaving home, and my mom and my grandma. My mom and I live together while my dad is working away a lot as a truck driver. I don’t want her to be lonely. I am still worried about that about, but God has taken a lot of that away.
Expenses, although God has shown me before what he can do.
