the heart [breaking] makes a sound...

                                          The heart breaking makes a sound
                                I never knew could be
                     So beautiful and loud
       Fury filled and we, collide

                             So courageous until now
                                       Fumbling and scared
                                                    So afraid You'll find me out,
                                                                Alone here with my doubt

Here it comes, a beautiful collision
                    Is happening now.
                                  There seems no end to where You begin
                                                 and there I am now
                                                                  You and I collide

Missions!!

Hi everyone!! :)

Okay, so today I wanted to talk about something that has been really close to my heart since I was a young person! ....and that is mission trips!! I was first opened up to Global Expeditions through a wonderful place called Teen Mania Ministries! I went on my first mission trip with them to Jamaica when I was just 16 years old! Then a few years later, I did an in country trip to New Orleans. Both trips were very impacting on my life in regards to my relationship to God and also on understanding the part I have to play in the fulfillment of the great commission as a Christian. Moving ahead to when I was 20 years old, my sister and I did an independent mission to Oaxaca, Mexico to a missions base called Roca Blanca where we had the opportunity to reach out to many different people in the month we spent there! Then...even further down the road I was connected to a wonderful ministry in Henderson, Kentucky called The Father's House with whom I have been on two major trips with. One to Israel and one to Guatemala!

So, bottom line. I LOVE MISSIONS! :) I love being out of country. I love loving people and telling them about how much Jesus loves them!! I love seeing new cultures and new life and new ways of doing life! There's just a lot of love! Haha! But.....now. For my next en-devour! I have recently (through my boyfriend!) been connected to a missions organization in Evansville, IN called Uncharted International and am going on a trip with them this coming May!! It's going to be so amazing! I will be in the country of Myanmar for 10 days and I couldn't be more excited!! It will be my first time to Southeast Asia and it'll be my first trip out of the country in quite some time! So, I feel ready!! I'm still raising money for the trip, and I made a donation page if you want to check it out! My Fundraising Page!! :D But mostly I just wanted to blog about missions!! Cuz I love it!! And I can't wait to be boarding the plane in about 55 days!!!!
