It has been awhile
I think I've over complicated this whole "blogging" thing! I didn't even know that was possible to overcomplicate! There's only one thing that I want to mention that has happened as of lately. The story actually begins at least 4 years ago in Tampa, Florida. Our church participated in this mission project called World Changers. I was really interested in the mission opportunities offered by the National American Mission Board and told the Mission Specialist about this interest. His response to me was this

The story actually begins at least 4 years ago in Tampa, Florida. Our church participated in this mission project called World Changers.

"Start in your community."
This statement blew me away! This guy knew my heart completely! Going far away to spread the gospel seemed like such and adventure. However, the real adventure these past four years has been staying home and living my life for Christ here!
It has been quite the adventure, indeed.
I'm am incredibly confident that all I've experienced and lived through in my time here has prepared me for possibly the next step of my life as a missionary (that gets paid).
Yep, I might be a missionary this summer.
Surprise!!
I had been waiting until my first summer as a college student to apply for a position in a World Changers team. In October I remembered to look up the information and saw that the application was going to take some work to complete. So, I wasn't in. I went walking with a friend a week later and she asked me if I was going to apply. Turns out, long story short, that we both applied.
We were accepted.
She and I fly to Nashville, Tennessee January the 21st. for interviews with the staff at LifeWay.
Please be in prayer for us as we prepare, fly to Nashville, audition, and freak out.
No matter what happens - our God is awesome in power.
Musing: God does not promise that I will be comfortable or not be martyred. However, he promises that I will not be put to shame, and I won't be disappointing.
