Looking Forward.

This is me; a woman who has been completely renewed by God. 

I have a heart for loving people; especially loving on young children. Even if you only know me a tiny bit, you know my passion for children; especially children who NEED love because they do not have any from their home. Well this burning passion that I have to love children, is ultimately from God because He created me and my desires. I want to show children who Jesus is through my actions AND my words because it is so important for people, especially young children who have no loving family, to know they are cherished by the King of Kings. 

As some of you know, my dad passed away in January 2013, and leading up to that my life was changed. I personally began to understand what it meant to LOVE Jesus with my heart, and to pursue Him because He loves me. The same God who is the maker of the Heavens and the Earth, desires to be with ME and for me to spend time quality time with Him.

So I did. I spent so much of my time seeking Him and truly falling in love with Him, before pursuing my own heart, because I needed that foundation. I have a very loving family who I cherish because they have loved me and supported me my whole life, but I had to find Jesus and my faith on my own, in my own way.

Now that I have Jesus as my foundation, I am ready for an adventure with God. I am ready to go wherever He leads me, and to love people the way He loves people. 

I am constantly learning to trust God and to not be anxious or fearful. I want to pursue my hearts desires with an eternal perspective because I can not wait to be there with my dad, worshiping God. I know now that I am supposed to take the journey to Cambodia for a mission trip in January 2014 to LOVE ON CHILDREN. My church; Church of Living Water, takes a trip once a year to Cambodia to reach out. 

I AM GOING AND I AM SO EXCITED I CAN HARDLY HOLD IT IN! 

FULL OF JOY, pray for me! :) 

So with that said, I can not wait to see what is in store for me in the future. I am expectant for the blessings God is choosing to give ME, and I am expectant for what He has yet to teach me. I can not believe that when you completely surrender your life to God, He will bless you more than you could fathom. I am walking that out right now, and I can not even express how thankful I am. 

I am going to send out a support letters to my family, but if you are interested in learning more about my trip, or if you would like to a support letter, please email me through Facebook! Other than that, please PRAY FOR ME, because this is going to be a journey of a lifetime, and I trust God to protect me and give me strength while I am there.

(January 2014-February 2014, I will be gone for 2 weeks)  

Thank you for all of your love and encouragement.
