The Initial Leap of Faith

And so it begins... I have officially been offered a position as an intern at CCV after a couple weeks of going through the application process!!! Now is when the rubber meets the road and the fundraising begins. I have to raise $2,000 a month to cover my bills and expenses in order to take part in this internship. It is a huge leap of faith for me to let go of the financial reins and giving them to God to control. I'm excited to see how He works to make it happen:)

A short update on my life... over the past two years I have fallen so in love with Christ that I cannot fathom spending my life doing anything other than reaching His people. He has rocked my world in ways I never thought I would experience. Through college I questioned my faith and the sovereignty of God and began to rebel and turn against Him. I got into things I shouldn't have and became angry with God. This brought me to the deepest darkest states of depression and emptiness I've ever known as I tried tirelessly to fill my God-shaped hole in my heart with things of this world. After two years of being stripped of everything that gave me joy as I turned away from God I decided enough was enough. I sought help and through that counseling God revealed himself to me in the most beautiful ways. I now see just how much He loves me and that love overwhelms me and has allowed me to fall so deeply and madly in love with Him that I know I will never walk away from Him again. He holds my heart in His hands and it has been my honor and privilege to follow and serve Him with all of my heart. It is my hearts true desire that people would truly know just how much and what it means to be loved by a perfect God and released from the burdens this life consumes us with. Two years ago I said I'd never been happier and today I can continue to say that as God continues to fill me up with a joy nothing in this world can. I know who created me and who I am, what my purpose in this life is, and where I am going when this life is all over. My hearts desire is for when God calls me home for Him to say to me "Welcome home, my good and faithful servant." Until then, I've got one mission and one mission only; to shower Gods people with His love so that they may come to know His son Jesus Christ. Nothing. Else. Matters.
