Am I Ready?
Well, I have had a lot of time alone with my thoughts in the past month. I have continued to feel this pull on my heart to do something in the mission field, but of course that would mean giving up so many things in my life... am I ready? I have been reading this blog http://allthingshendrick.blogspot.com and they have been inspiring me to live a more sacrificial life; Read more here.
Since the earthquake in Haiti I had always felt some sort of connection to them. I gathered about 30 pairs of shoes from fellow co-workers and family at the time and donated them through SoftMoc & Soles4Soles.. I didn't know what else someone like me could do, but after some research and lots of reading, I fell upon Heartline Ministries. The Hendrick family works along side them and it is just totally blowing my mind how perfect this organization would be for me. They have many facets to their ministry but I was specifically drawn to their women's programs. Since I studied 2 years of nursing and have a diploma in Fashion Design working with these women in the Early Childhood Development and sewing classes would be amazing. I have been asking God to show me the path He wants me to take in my life and I think this is a great first step in exploring what being a missionary is all about.
