WHERE I AM TODAY

Im going to avoid trying to make this a formal post and just be real. In 7 days finals begin, in 9 days I fly home to St. Louis, in 15 days I leave for SouthEast Asia to live for 90 days. Not in a panic and won’t be, but there are a lot of things that need to be done in the short amount of time I have for each big countdown. In the middle of all this change and approaching deadlines I feel peaceful, excited, happy, satisfied. Nothing is keeping me from JOY! it can’t!  Why would  I be so stressed when King Jesus who has all authority is  the one working all things out? I am troubled by a few things, that still have not taken my joy. Setting up a bank account to use overseas is difficult, Family thinks I am foolish for going and some other things are keeping my attention. Im working toward resolving these things and some have seemed fruitless. My God will provide. He will work out His will in my family as well in practical preparation for SE Asia.

Born in Indiana, raised in Illinois, New resident of Arizona. I am an incoming freshman at Grand Canyon University, I will major in Christian Studies: Biblical Studies. I have been called into the service and ministry of Christ’s Church. I will follow Him wherever he leads even if it means giving up what I treasure. Because in the grand scheme of all things, nothing else matters. I once read a passage and thought, I want to be like this: Philippians 3:7-11 whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. I thought yes that is what I want for my life! At that moment I realized that I am so far away, but something made me keep reading… Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus and there was the relief, I am not there yet. That does not change my aim or my goal. I will press on for the prize that far greatly surpasses the easy road. That is what I want to make my life… Please contact me I would love to hear your stories and passions.
