Hi Everyone!
I cannot even begin to express my excitement about the Race. God provides in huge ways and I am humbled that he has given me this opportunity!
Just to tell a little about myself and my story. . .
Testimony (I'll try to be short and sweet)
I grew up in Christian home. God provided me with parents who loved the Lord and enstilled that in me as I grew up. I am from High Point, NC. I went to church every Wednesday and ever Sunday and I loved it. I got saved when I was 7. My parents were the ones to lead me to the Lord.
I eventually went to High Point Christian Academy (the school at my church) So I was there EVERY DAY of the week!
But I always tell every one that I consider myself to be THE lukiest girl on the planet when it comes to my friends. All through middle school and high school I had the best, most supportive, most hilarious, God fearing women as friends and we always stuck together. I honestly do not know who I would be without them enouraging me in Christ and just always beign there. They have contributed A LOT to my walk with Him!! And I am truly blessed because I still (now 4 years later) still keep in contact with them and when ever we get together it's like nothing ever changed 🙂
Sine college I have learned SO MUCH.
God has used countless events in my life to show me that I NEED Him. And that's all I NEED.
This lesson didn't really hit until the summer after my freshman year.
I was sort of forced to go away for the summer and work at a camp in New Orleans. I wasn't all that excited about it but one I got there I FELL IN LOVE with the city and the kids.
It was THE most amazing experience of my life and I wouldn't have done anything else!
I went back the next 2 summers so ALL of my college summers were spent there! Twice as a counselor and once as the Assistant Director. This place really shaped me as a person.
The main lesson I learned was that Christ is the ONLY place that I can find true JOY!!
Working this camp also gave me the burning desire for mission and children and just sharing His love.
The fact that I am even preparing to go on this Journey BLOWS MY MIND! BUT I AM SO READY!
A year ago this is NOT something I would have thought I could do, but now I don't want to do anything else!! So I'm currently raising support and preparing my heart and mind for this amazing opportunity and I appreciate everything everone has done for me!
God never ceases to amaze me in the marvelous ways He unfolds the plan and the relationship that I have with Him is so preious to me and I know that my life is not my own. It is His alone. and so I must allow myself to let HIM do HIS work through me for HIM.
IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM!!!!!!!!
