Mission Impossible!?

Hello! I’m Alex
- Here’s a quick profile…

I’m 21 and from
Devon, England.

I’ve just
graduated from a dance school and I’m currently working as an enabler in
university for a friend with cerebral palsy, to assist her as she does her
dance degree. I’m also a waitress in a Spanish tapas bar – I know, I’m not very
convincing as a Spaniard, but I love the food!

This is copy
and pasted off my facebook (epic fail on originality):

“I laugh a lot,
you're probably not that funny! I like adventures and spontaneity and try to
live for the moment. I think too
much so I write lists... I want my life
to count for some change in the world, even if it's only small.”

 ''When
will you understand that being normal isn't necessarily a virtue? It rather
denotes a lack of courage.''

My heart is to
offer who I am and the tools I have to serve people who need to be loved. Since
I was quite young I have had a strong sense of justice, a deep conviction to
treat people with compassion (for “there but for the grace of God go I…”) and I
have always felt a desire to love people who are unloved. 

I’m far from
perfect and have spent the last few years battling in my heart to know God for
real, not for who my church education has told me he is. At times I’ve felt
confused and maybe my behaviour and choices have been fairly off-key. However,
I have met grace over and over in my life. We have no choice of what family we
are born into, and mine was not the perfect start but the reason I wouldn’t
change the bad times is because out of them, my mum’s relationship with God was
born, meaning I know my existence is with purpose. I feel passionate about the
people in the world who were born into circumstances that mean they do not have
the knowledge that they were “fearfully and wonderfully made” and don’t know
their worth.

For now, that’s
all I know about myself! 

At the moment I
am on an impossible mission to find the funds for GCEX 2011, and an even more
impossible mission for me is to find the faith for the funds, I told
Stefan the name of my first blog would have to be “probably not going”……… But
as all my male friends would say, I have to “man-up”!
