My African
ADVENTURE
Hey Hey everyone! So the countdown is on!!! just a few more weeks until I'll be attempting to find my way through the airport and boarding the longest flight I have EVER been on.
If you don't know my story hang on tight cause I wanna share why this is my life long passion. Every since I was a wee one I have dreamt about going to Africa to help the kiddies. I don't know why I have this particular desire to travel half way around the world into a dangerous country, but God gave it to me and placed it heavily on my heart so i'm not one to question it or even give up on it. I have this over- flowing passion to serve someone who is so in love with Jesus Christ that even in the midst of complete and utter desperation they have the most beautiful smile on their face that beams with His love. I have this passion to serve someone who feels like they have all the riches in the world because of their FAITH and RELATIONSHIP with Jesus, but in actual fact have absolutely nothing to offer material wise. I know theres people here, there and everywhere that need help, and I know theres millions of people who have this kind of passion for Jesus all over the world, but my heart and faith is taking me to Africa. I pray that the people I will be encountering will impact my life in such a way that I can then go and, God willing, impact others. I have no idea what the future holds, but no biggie! Jesus DOES! Let HIS will be done. If i'm gonna be completely honest I'm horrified about the encounters I'll be faced with, the destitution I'll see, the poverty I'll be dealing with, and the hurt in people's faces, knowing that I can't help everyone but I know Jesus loves each one of his children and I know He'll protect me as I take this leap of faith. Its my time to LET GO AND LET GOD do His wondrous works :) BE. LOVE. SERVE. REPEAT. This is my church's youth motto and I pray that I can live this out daily. I pray I can BE the vessel through Jesus. I pray I can LOVE like He first loved us, with no strings attached. I pray I can SERVE with my whole heart, freely giving everything I have for His name. I pray I can REPEAT the acts of compassion shown to me and use them to guide and help others.
