If you don’t know already my name is Natalie. To be completely honest I’m not quite sure how I am going to start this off, so hopefully it reads well.
I am really close (like a week) away from graduating from college with a degree in marketing. So it felt that for the longest time I only heard questions like “Oh what do you want to do with your major”? Or “So what are plans for after graduation?” and my personal favorite “Do you have a job lined up yet?”, for a long time all I could answer with was I’m not sure, or my plan is to hopefully find a job in my field. Well, I was answering people, not God. I kept feeling this push, a push to do something more than what I was doing. I finally stopped talking and answering people, and started listening. I started listening about what to do, serve Him more. Then I ended up here. Going on a trip to Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Nepal, India, Cambodia, Thailand, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala.
Now when first looking at this, and figuring out the call God was giving me, I thought wow a mission trip to 11 countries that is awesome! The other thought was why is God sending me, some awkward girl who has never been on plane out into 11 different countries. Because he wants me to love, and to use my gifts out in the world. Because I was made for more than the life I thought I was going to have.
I’m very excited for what the Lord has in store for me on this trip. I can’t wait to share with all of you guys who decided to my blog. I ask one thing of you. 1.) I ask for prayers I have along road of fundraising ahead of me and prayers would be greatly accepted.
Also please pray or take into consideration supporting me in this cause, it would mean the world to me and it would money going towards a wonderful cause.
God Bless,
Natalie Staniewicz
