Pursuing a Passion

Hey guys! I wanted to start this blog as a place to keep you posted in my journey through life with the Lord. Last summer I was blessed with the opportunity to go on my first mission trip, which was to Honduras. I fell in love with missions and felt called to pursue that passion. Not long after I got home from Honduras, God opened the door for another missions trip. Now that trip is in 3 days! I will be traveling to Uganda, Africa for 2 weeks simply loving on orphans. There is absolutely nothing else I would rather be doing! My brother will also be going on the trip, which will be such a blessing to see him on his first mission trip. We've been preparing for Uganda since last September and it has been so cool to watch everything unfold. God has shown His faithfulness in ways I couldn't even believe. Through the support of family and friends, He provided every single cent needed for the trip! Our God is the ultimate Provider. I know that God has huge plans for this trip to Africa because of the faithfulness He has already shown and doors that He has opened. Please keep our team in your prayers. I'm so excited to keep you all posted and let you know the amazing and miraculous ways God works in the next couple weeks!
