Some things I will never understand.  There are some questions I have for God when I get to heaven, like "God, why couldn't You just put up a billboard with my life's roadmap on it, so I would always know the next step and always know why I go through things...."  God is so good!  Looking back, even reflecting on my day today, He is so faithful and so good!  Looking forward, I am living in complete sacrifice to Him, trusting Him with everything I am and everything I've got.  It's all I can do for the God who gave His Son so that I could live. What an AWESOME GOD we serve!

 

Looking back, from growing up, to going to college and majoring in Ministries, to working at Wal-Mart, being a flight attendant, leading worship, and working for a short term mission organization, it's obvious that God has had His hand on my life.  He's brought me to this place for a specific purpose yet to be revealed, but a general purpose that is obvious:  to bring Him more Glory. 

 

So, here I go, walking in faith, trusting that the Lord will carry me and guide me, and pointing to JESUS on this journey of my life.  This journey is about to look a little different as I embark on something new, something a little different.  "Dear God, I can't help but worship You in this moment, as I do not deserve to be called Your child, but You chose me anyway.  You chose to bless me, not so I could just be blessed, but so that I could declare Your glory among the nations.  Lord, I want to glorify You and make Your name famous.  Thank you for the honor and privilege of serving You in a new way.  Amen."

 

 In January, I will be leaving Minnesota with a little and trusting that God will take care of the rest.  I will be serving God, however He calls in 11 different countries over 11 months.  This means that I don't necessarily know what I will be doing on a daily basis or even exactly where I will be staying each night that I am serving.  One thing I do know:  God has called me to this for a purpose.  It's one of those times when I don't necessarily know what He is going to reveal to me during this time, how He is going to stretch me or have me serve.  All I know is that this isn't about me, it's about God and His glory.

 

 I am inviting you, my family, my friends, even people I don't know to join me on this mission.  This mission to reveal God's glory among the nations!  I will be posting to this blog as often as I can while I am serving the Lord in many different capacities and would love for you to be able to see how God is working among the nations through this avenue.  Even as I am preparing to go, God is teaching me many things that I would love for you all to be a part of!

 

Please, be praying for me as I am preparing to go and as I go.  My heart is to draw the nations into worship of our AMAZING GOD!  I pray that He will work in me, through me, and in spite of me...
