Imagine with me your this little girl who has an imagination that's hard to keep up with. And on each side you have two people holding your hand. They have called you their little girl since the time you entered the world April 18 , 1989. Your mind is full of questions and your heart is embraced with story after story about this man named Jesus. You don't really know where to start but at around the age 5&6 you choose to accept this man into your heart. It sounds strange to others, however you know there is something special about this man. You begin your walk with Him. There's still a lot to understand. Your world seems perfect with your mom and dad until one of your hand drops to the side. You don't really understand at this time but you still seek. It is then another hand comes into place. This hand is your grandparents. God helps you see He knows how important the tangible things are. And so you keep walking. You then enter an awkward stage where you find this new random explosion on your face or what many teens know as a zit.
You then start looking into your own reflection wondering if your beautiful. In fact everything seems strange around you.. You see people holding hands, boys buying flowers for your friends,trying to figure out locker combinations, figuring out what's in along with out and just praying to survive middle school. You have now entered what seems like a foreign land. Or what you thought was foreign till you hit high school. It's even stranger. You feel ten feet smaller and your mind starts spinning thinking what does older even mean? You wonder what it's like to have a boy friend,should you embrace your curls or go straight, you hear the clatter of voices in the hall ways trying to make sense of it but it just seems like another tumble weed rolling around.
It's then you realize your not little any more and you start asking questions , " Now what?". However, little did you know it would start a healing process for you along with a call from God. You thought you we're just ordinary but little did you know how much God is Father along with that you would be called to missions.In your mind you only knew yes but little did you know there was more to this call. There we're times you fought your emotions along with times you questioned where to go but God kept pulling you through. So when you reached college you started exploring this more.
For the first time in awhile your heart awakes to the fact God really does love you. Yes, He sees your heart ache along with the strange moments but His purpose never fails. You begin to see that as He shows you the nations.It is then you realize that there is more to learn. That girl is me and it's my desire to share with you even more of my life along with how God's moving now even with the things I understand and don't. It is also in this note I want to tell you that all my circumstances I've went through I've had to learn joy comes in the morning. So as I share with you then I pray your encouraged!
