It scares me to think that all I’ve known for the last 12 years of my life will change so drastically within the next few months, but at the same time I cannot wait to see where God wants to take me. At the beginning of this year I came to the realization that God is way bigger then I initially thought He was, and although I’ll never really be able to fully grasp how great He truly is, I’ve decided that I want a life that experiences as much about Him as possible and encounters Him in as many ways as possible.
Being a year young for my grade has never worked to my advantage and so when it came to applying for Global Challenge I was quite worried about only being 17. God however, looked straight past that and has allowed me to be a part of this incredible journey regardless.
“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” ~ 1 Timothy 4:12
I’ve been worrying quite a lot about the funds for next year, and so I’m searching deep into my heart to pull out all of the faith that’s left inside of me, just to believe that God will provide. Although I do doubt myself, I do know that God is still faithful, even when I am undeserving.
And so I guess what I’m trying to say is…
Yes. I’m a little impatient at times.
I can’t spell.
I take H.E at school but somehow I still can’t cook.
I’m really loud at times, and maybe I talk a bit too fast.
But God, wow, He has such great plans for my life. Or so I’ve been told. And so this is me deciding to take the jump and discover them.
