Never would I have thought I would be leaving America on the best day to be American, July fourth. But here I am. And I could not be more excited about it. So how did this happen? It goes back to this past year at college, where I felt the call of duty that every child of God has to go out and spread the gospel. I had my own idea of what this would look like this summer, but God quickly closed that door. I knew He had planted a seed in my heart for evangalizing, it was just going to be His plans--not mine. So when the opportunity arose shortly afterwards for this Bolivia trip, I was excited. I don't know what I'm entirely getting myself into but I know the Lord knows and that makes me all the more thrilled.

For those of you who don't know me, I was born and raised in Waxhaw, NC and have grown up at Calvary Church. My best friends are Craig and Sharon, Stephen, and Crystal Miller--all of who also double as my family, as well as Stephen's fiancé, Abby. I'm a rising sophomore Interior Design and Architecture major at Samford University in Birmingham, AL, which has become my well loved home away from home. There in Birmingham, I have met many wonderful people, made great friends, joined the sisterhood of Phi Mu Sorority, and have gotten involved in Shades Mountain Baptist Church. In a perfect world, my ideal day would consist of crafting, baking, spending time with my family and friends, eating good food, laughing, and dancing.

Going into this trip, my prayer is that The Lord would reveal Himself to me in new ways-- that I would see Him in ways I never imagined and that I grow closer to Him in ways I did not know possible. I pray that He will break down the barriers that I consciously and subconsciously put up, taking complete reign over my body and my life.

We serve a big God and I cannot wait to see what he is doing down in Bolivia.
Thanks for all the prayer and support as we prepare and head down!
