Forest
Hill has been my church home for my entire life. I have been out of the country
a couple of times with my family for mission trips and vacations to Africa and
South America.
In
the past few months at Advance, I heard about a trip going to Haiti this summer
and was interested. So I asked my mom to see of she would let me go. (Not
knowing that later on she would be asked to come because they needed another experienced
leader.) My mom has been to Africa countless of times. After I
signed up I wasn’t sure I would know anyone, but sure enough 2 people in my
life group and my life group leader had signed up to come too! I was very
excited! I started hearing more info about the trip and am getting more and
more excited. I know God will do great works through our team when we are there
in Haiti.
My
favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11 which says: “For I know the plans I have
for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a
future and a hope”. This verse reminds me that God has a hope and a future for
you even when you don’t know what’s going to happen in your future, God always does
and always will. He knows your every thought, decision and hope going through
your head every moment of every day. He allows us to find hope in him not to be
lost but to grow close to him when we need him.
