Blogging is not my thing. It is typically something I make fun of. In my opinion, who actually cares about what other people write? Who has that much time? I certainly do not, but I am a student who is studying my brains out to get a good college education.
So, why do I have a blog when I don't exactly care for it? Great question! There is a small event taking place this summer, I am going to China. Okay, so maybe it is a big deal! I'm not going there to vacation for a week and travel the city. Nope, I am going because I feel the Lord leading me there. I am not moving there in case you were wondering, I am going there as a missions trip for 5 weeks to teach ESL (English Second Language) to students. You're right, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with my major at school, but I am called. I have no idea what I will learn, how I will grow, who I will influence, where exactly I am going, or what I will be teaching, but I know that this is where I should be this summer. The Lord works in strange ways that I don't understand. This life with Christ is crazy and it doesn't make sense, but without Him I don't make sense, therefore I choose to follow.
I am writing this blog so that you who are partnering with me for this trip can be updated on prayer requests, financial support, and my journey to China.
I have bittersweet emotions about this trip, but hey let's just see what the Lord is going to do ;)
Where You lead, I will follow.
