How to start...?
Ever since I was little, I have wanted to go place where people were. I would ask Mum if I could go to friends' houses or to the park or anywhere outside of home so that I could meet people. Little did I know what God would have in store for me... What little I do know of what God has in store for me.
Growing up the youngest of 5, in an old country home built by my great-grandparents, home-schooled, and running barefoot, I learned a lot about life -- Work ethic, relationships, God, perseverance, and a deep rooted love of people that I will never shake. With this love for people, I grew and learned the hardships as well as the joys of caring so much about life. I'm not done learning and that's for sure, but I do know that God has plans better then I could ever believe! Now that I'm in my Jr. year of college, I do get homesick and it is hard to leave home when I do go back but God has instilled in my a joy that comes from Him and Him alone. Wherever I am, I am home because I have God.
Adventure is out there! The movie Up says it so well thus, I say it now. Adventure is out there and with that thought... I'm going to Russia! This summer I have the opportunity to go back to Russia with a team of 8 (counting me) for two weeks and I couldn't be more happy. I am actually leading the trip this time which means God has been calling out a lot of responsibility and decision making out of me lately. It is good but hard.
If you want to hear more about why I'm going to Russia, I will be posting more in here randomly or simply ask me! I would love to sit down and share about the heart God has placed in me for that country and those who live there.
The big thing that I need to remember throughout all of this are:
1) We make plans but the Lord determines our steps (Proverbs 16:9)
2) Where He leads, I'll follow
