Yeah, it's 4 days into the new year but I still want to make a statement for 2008: My biggest resolution for this year is to quit waiting on my life to start and start living my life that's already started. I have been waiting on the sidelines to get a husband, kids, & my dream job for far too long. It's time for me to start living now, in this moment.
For those of you don't know me, I'm a 24 year old working girl who has big dreams and an even bigger heart. I want to travel the world, lead a women's/girls' ministry, work in missions, and basically be used in whatever way God wants to use me. I've been timid and reserved in the past but the time has come for me to step up and step out for God. I'm too blessed and too talented (no self-righteousness intended) to be waiting for someone to ask me to do anything. I can do whatever He calls me to because He is my Source and my Strength.
I'm obviously really passionate about ministry and the local church. My heart beats for youth and the obstacles they face in today's society. I long to lead them and show them that there's a better path than what the world wants them to see. They have value and purpose and serving God is SO worth it. (I especially feel this way about females-I want them to realize their worth to God, to others and especially to themselves.) I also find Christian music (most notably praise & worship) to be a means of healing, restoration and strength and enjoy singing or assisting in that area whenever possible.
Anyway, that's my first post. I'm sure there will be more to come. Kudos to Dustie (a fabulous friend) for encouraging me to start this. I have a feeling that this blog and my memoir will become intertwined in many ways. In the meantime, consider saying "yes" to God in the moment, when it matters. I'm learning this lesson and don't regret it one bit!
