When I was six years old I told my mom I was going to write her a story. And I did; a six word story. And what it lacked in plot it made up for in a picture of God and I in red colored pencil.
Eleven years later, I still love Jesus so much much, and He is writing the next chapter in my story.
The story began a few short months ago with the decision to go on the World Race Gap Year.
When you are a senior in high school, you have a lot of decisions to make and a lot of questions to answer. In all honesty, it gets pretty stressful! But it all boils down to one question.
Who do you want to be?
When I gave my life to Christ I decided that I wanted to follow Him for the rest of my life. As I grew up and started to face all of the pressures life brings, I had to face that question. I know I want to be following Christ, but WHO do I want to be?
I want to be a person who is living every day for Christ.
I want to be a person who is filled with compassion.
I want to be a person who is the hands and feet of Christ.
I want to be a person who is making a lasting impact.
I want to be a person who is consumed with passion.
I want to be a person who is continually growing in faith.
I want to be that kind of person.
And I cannot wait to see how God is going to write this next chapter of my story on the World Race. I can’t wait to see His will accomplished in me and through me!
I will be using this blog to share a little bit of my story with you! Subscribe to get an email when I post something new.
I’ll keep you posted!
Love,
