I suppose it would be proper for me to tell you about myself so you know a little about who you're spending this time with. Who is this odd person? What is she thinking? And why don't her socks match? Well, grab a cup of coffee and let's chat.
Firstly, I have a relationship with the most perfect person ever (ahem, Jesus). I find it to be The Great Privilege to be able to be with Him every day. He and I go through everything together, we laugh together and cry together. He's brought me through dark times and I quite enjoy serving Him.
Doing work on the mission field is probably the thing that makes me happiest. I have relished sinking my toes into the red Ugandan clay as I hold the children in the slums or in the orphanages. I love walking through the village and seeing the paradox of brokenness and unquenchable hope in the eyes of those who live there. I am beyond excited about my upcoming Ukraine trip and working with the special needs children there. I hope to one day open up an orphanage and care for hundreds of orphans, showing them the love that God has shown me. I also hope to adopt many children and have a home filled with many different colors of people!
As far as my other passions go, the worship ministry would be near the top. When I first felt the Lord's leading there, I thought He was crazy! I can't play an instrument and the thought of going on stage
I have several whims: colorful, mismatched socks, the smell of old books, watermelons, rainy days, office supplies, gummy worms, and nice smelly things, just to name a few.
Overall, I'm a spirited person. I'm naturally drawn to broken things/people. I'm nowhere near perfect and shall never claim to be, but I love to love people and nothing satisfies me more than a good chat over coffee on a rainy day, sharing ideas, feelings and thoughts.
So join me in my writings, my friend. Grab a blanket and a warm beverage and let's swap stories and dreams as our paths cross for at least a little while....
