Today I leave for my very 1st missions trip! I am meeting my church from Seattle @ the Houston airport, and we head out to Honduras! We are building a family of 5 ( I think) a new home! I'm very excited!
My best friend Kimberly Rowlands (now Howdyshell) first told me about mission trips YEARS ago, when she was in her youth group, and would travel all over the world helping people out who had very little.
I have always been interested in this, but never new much about it, and didn't belong to a church that I loved as much as I do this one.
Even tho my church is in Seattle, I can't wait till we move back and I can be apart of it again...
Last fall they had the sign ups for this trip and my other best friend Lynnie was all for it too! So, together we are going for very different reasons, but the base of it all is to work in the heart of the Lord and touch peoples lives whom may not have as much as we do... To give them a piece of Christ, and tell them what he's all about, and the love he has to give..
I will have more information after I get back, and can't wait to share with you all everything I'll have learned and had the wonderful opportunity to be apart of.
I may not have always lived the life of a good Christian... actually, I know I haven't!
I never, didn't- know who he was and what he did for me...
I always knew what I was doing was wrong, when i did it...
But now, I am so happy and proud to be making steps in the right direction. Living a life closer to him has been the biggest blessing of my life.
Each day as I lay my head down at night, I ask God for more guidance to live a more pure life that I am..
and each day, the Lord blesses me with the oxygen in my lungs, and the chance to follow in his ways..
I'm still not a "perfect Christian" --- but who is???
besides, Jesus Christ...
but I can tell you one thing.... I'm trying :o)
See y'all in 10 days!
Have fun Gloria! I know that helping out in the way you are is SO fulfilling. It truly is. You'll be amazing :)
