Hello!
Thank you so much for checking out my profile and joining me on my journey to go to the nations.
Here is a little bit about me if we don’t know each other. I grew up outside of the small town of Hermann Missouri. I am the tenth of eleven children and I absolutely adore my family. I was home schooled through high school which opened several doors that would not have otherwise opened. I played tennis for several years, was very involved in choirs and barbershop choruses, as well as becoming a harpist. While I did not love being home schooled at the time, now I value some of the opportunities I was given through not being tied to a strict schedule.
In high school i became a part time preschool teacher adn absolutely loved it. I never thought I would attend a four year college and so I never really looked into going to any. But through high school, my love for children in broken families and homes grew more and more. the spring I was set to graduate I began looking at College of the Ozarks, and soon after I applied. I was accepted beginning of December and was there beginning of January. I was a Family Studies major and I loved it – and by that I mean I liked one or two classes and I loved my people. As the semesters went on, my heart for missions continued to grow. There were times I would try to convince the Lord to let me go, but the time was never right. In the summer of 2019, I lost my best friend ,who was also my roommate, in a fatal cart accident. I continued at C of O for a few months, but shortly before my second year ended, I withdrew from school.
There were several variables in the air as to what I would do, where I should live, and how I would make an income. The Lord was so faithful through the entire process though, and looking I fall in love with His grace and steadfast love again and again. He provided a job, a place to live, and people in my life to support me. Missions was not at the forefront of my mind because I knew emotionally, mentally, and spiritual, it was not my time to go. But in February the Lord brought about the sweetest season of contentment and Spiritual growth. I decided to take steps towards future plans and through LOTS of prayer, decided to try missions again. God gave me the sweetest yes and has opened the door to going and sharing His name with the nations and I could not be more excited.
I cannot wait to walk this journey with you, whether that is through prayer, financial giving, or blog post and keeping you updated. The Lord is so incredibly good and I am so ready to see Him continue to work through me.
