One year ago this week I was in Ouanaminthe, Haiti serving at Danita's Children for the second time. I continue to be so so thankful for that time. I have learned so much about myself, other people, the world we live in, and how to live life differently. I learned that many people don't have to search long & hard for contentment and joy, and life could be a whole lot more simple if we learned to love one another rather than trying to change them. Going to Haiti was my first serving experience where it really shaped & formed me into who I am today. Before my trips & since then I have had many opportunities to serve in my community and local area. In just over two months (62 days), I'll be serving with Adventures in Missions in Thailand & Cambodia for three months! I am so in awe & overwhelmed by the life I have been blessed with. I do not say this to boast, but to motivate & encourage others to lean into the passions that have been placed in their heart, and see what God can do with them. It is hard to form to words to adequately express how expectant and excited I am to have this experience and see what God will do.
I've booked my flight to and from Georgia (where the team & I will be leaving & arriving from), I am almost fully funded ($62 left out of $6,232), and am looking into getting my gear! It's surreal & crazy that this whole process began almost nine months ago. I am so thankful & God is so faithful!
