Blogging! Something New and Kind of Exciting

Hello my dear family and friends! I'm excited that you've found my blog! I hope this will be an effective and fun way of keeping in touch with all of you as I prepare for and embark on the adventure that will be the next several months of my life.

I'm new to this blogging business, so please be patient with me, and help a sister out if you're a pro. 

I'm excited to see what God does as I travel to the land of (some of) my ancestors, and then on to places in need of deeper compassion than I normally see. There will be more information to come as time progresses, but if you're looking for more information about Youth With A Mission or what I'll be up to in the coming months, check out these links.

My Hope:

“Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Mark 12:28b-31 (ESV)

My goal and hope for this season is that God would teach me to love Him more than anything else, with everything I have. Please pray for me, and for the ones I'll be privileged to spend time with, especially the ones who think God has forgotten them. He hasn't. :)
