"Unstoppable"

This morning in Church, we started a new series called "Unstoppable". I had no idea how much it would relate to me, and my life. As you all know, I've recently decided to devote my life to mission work. I have no experience, no degree, and I'm young. What do I have going for me exactly?!?! That's what I've been struggling with. I know I'm passionate about being a missionary, and sooo excited too! BUT, the major question is... how do I get started? I went to Mexico with the youth group and we built a house. That's fine, and it was life-changing. But, that's a once a year trip. I don't want to base my life on youth group trips (even as WONDERFUL as they are :-). I want to find a missionary-based company and thrive. While also doing the wonderful youth group trips! Any school I have found recently requires a 1-2 year internship across seas. That's fine and dandy too, accept that I won't leave Derek for that long. I'm determined I can find a way to do what I'm called to do, and still have a great, healthy marriage. ANYWAYS....This morning my pastor said something that stuck out. And that is, "if you aren't doing something supernatural, then you're only doing something superficial.". Now, that is in context to those who going out and doing mission work. Here I'm worried about how to get started when all God wants is for us to GO! Just take the leap of faith and listen to what He says. All else will fall into place. You must be unstoppable! Because it says in the good book that we are all to be a witness. He has called each and every one of to be. So instead of worrying about how, when and why..... I'm just going to leap and I know who will catch me if and whenever I fall.

Thailand here I come.

I AM UNSTOPPABLE.

What troubles me most is....

....people who upset my husband, family and friends. By judging them and ridiculing them for the choices they've made. I want to live, laugh and learn my way through life. Enjoying every second, being forgiven for my past. I'm not perfect, and neither is anyone that I know. Why can't we just stop the drama and love each other?

I've got all these random thoughts and feelings going through my brain right now, so this blog has to come to an end.

For now, I'm gonna go watch T.V. and cuddle with my hubby - a wonderful man who deserves so much in this life.

I'm out.

Sorry for the wait!

I know it's been a while folks, but I am back at it again! Blogging, that is. We've been in Colorado and settled now for a while. Since my last blog, lots has happened! We've made some wonderful new friends here, and are getting very involved in our Church - which we LOVE! I have gone on a missions trip with the youth group and we went to Juarez, Mexico. If you haven't heard all about it, let me know and I'll be happy to fill you in! I can sum it up in one word (or rather, 2 hyphenated ones...): LIFE-CHANGING. AnYwAyS, we are hiking, camping and off-roading a lot in our spare time. FUN stuff. I have recently decided to be a missionary for the rest of my time here on Earth. So keep an ear open for those updates! Thailand may be next, but don't quote me on that. Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know I haven't lost touch - just temporarily misplaced my Blogspot password in my brain!

XOXO,
Faith
