Throughout my life, my relationship with God has kept me on the right path and kept me focused despite adverse circumstances. I have been able to keep myself surrounded by the right people and have experienced success in many areas of my life. My favorite Bible verse keeps me motivated and focused to reach my goals. I know that I can do "greater" things through God and only through God. It calls me to step up and use my success to bring glory to God.
God is now teaching me to humble myself. I have always been the first to brag, and I used to become jealous of others very easily. Slowly but surely, God is helping me to listen to others and to be happy for others more. I am also trying to involve God in my decision making in all areas in my life. I want to be able to set an example for Christ in my school and to the people in my life through my words and actions.
I have never been on any mission trips before. I haven't even left the country or the eastern United States. I think it is time to change that. There are people in the world who have so much less than me, and God calls us to serve them. Going to Haiti is my opportunity to do so. I am slightly nervous, but at this point it feels so far away it's hard to get nervous. I know that will change soon though!
