I am not a blogger- awesome way to start right?
I don’t know how to conjure up fancy words to make a dry topic more interesting, and I don’t know how to write about things that make me vulnerable while still remaining confident in what I write.
I am not a blogger.
So let me tell you who I am.
My name is Tiffany Whisnant, and I’m 21 years old. I am a college student with a double major in Biology (pre-med) and Psychology, with a minor in missiology. The ultimate goal career wise is to become a pediatrician. I have a passion for children and medicine- so combining the two, in my eyes, would be a perfect way to spend the rest of my life.
I have a wonderful family full of love, joy, -arguments of course-, and support. Not a day goes by where I don’t here the words. “I love you.”
My mom is my prayer warrior, and a woman-of-God that I aspire to become.
My dad is my silent protector; He’s pretty goofy too.
My sister is my best friend; I love her more than I can explain.
In my opinion, which could possibly be a tad bit biased, my family is perfect.
Like everyone else, I have a past. A story that molded me into the person I am today. Battles, trails, successes and failures have all played a huge role in who I am. I’ve tried pushing God away so many times out of anger and frustration, failing to realize that He is the one who has always been by my side.
God has pricked my heart and gave me a love for helping those in need. I’ve had to cast my fears and worries to Him, so I could be clothed with courage and strength. My call to missions isn’t something I had planed for myself- reasons being:
- I HATE asking for donations. -I know how hard money is to come by. The job economy stinks, and people all around are fighting their own battles and working hard to pay bills. I get it and I don’t want to make it harder.
- I don’t like the idea of leaving my family. Sure, being away from them for a couple of weeks at college isn’t so bad, but a year?! It’s cliche, I know, but they’re my best friends and it’s scary to think about.
- My church family: I play an active role in the church I attend and leaving that is more difficult than anyone understands. My church family supports my call to missions, along with lifting me up in prayer.
I would love to answer any questions that you may have, or if you would just like to talk, I’m available. Click the “contact-me” tab to see different ways to get in touch with me.
I invite you to take this journey with me. Be active, and take part! Pray, donate and spread the word. Miracles still DO happen, and I’m looking forward to see what God has in store!
Yours in Christ,
Tiffany Whisnant
