I am not a writer. I have never liked writing. I have this problem where i have all these thoughts in my head but when I start writing I can’t get them out. But a couple months ago I had this great idea to start a blog. I semi looked into it then thought again. Then one day I was talking to my dad. I was telling him how all I want to do is travel the world and love people in the name of Jesus. He of course thought I was joking. But then he said you should start a blog, joking of course. But something in me said yes, start a blog. So here I am, my 2017 goal-to blog. Whether people read it or not this is my way of continuing listening and stepping out in faith to what the Lord has said to me.

2016 was one of the best years. I had an incredible journey and with that comes a story, but that will be for a later post. But I am going to take what the Lord showed me and bring it into this new year and continue walking in that. Some highlights of last year;

• I begged God for a community and He gave me the best friends

• I started living freely in Him

• He took me to Greece to love on His people

• I fell in love with the Middle East, come on have you ever eaten their food??!!

• I moved out on my own (with two roomies)-and as scary as it was not sure how i would afford it, God has provided!

• I became confident in myself

And there was so much more. I am so thankful to see a new year, and I can’t wait to see where God takes me this year!
