So this is my first time blogging. . .ever. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, but I figured I would give it a whirl! I decided to name it "I will follow Him to the wild corners of the world" because I desire this blog to describe my adventures through missions & I am hoping you will come along with me, to the wild corners of the world.
This year has been a roller coaster ride (one of the most overused phrases, but how else can I describe it?) & it's only been 3 complete months! In January, I withdrew from school to pursue full-time missions as a missions photographer, so I'm hoping to make others a part of my adventure in pursuing God's will for my life through this blog. It will also be pretty awesome to look back & see how God has grown me & transformed me.
So I'll give you a quick briefing on my life so far: I withdrew from school, started working two jobs (barely making it), & pursuing missions trips. Currently I am working on raising support for a missions trip to Costa Rica in May, a trip to Ethiopia in December (which I submitted my application today), & a YWAM photography school! I could not be more excited to see how God uses these trips to humble me & to deepen my understanding on what it is to be a servant filled with the love of Christ. I know God is going to do amazing things for this world & I am so privileged to be a part of it.
Speaking of being humbled. . .as I mentioned I work 2 jobs, yet I am barely able to support myself, today rent was due & of course I did not have the money. I have been praying all week & have been relying on faith, believing God would provide the money, well He did, just not in a way I had hoped. I am rather independent & I hate asking for or accepting help, but today the Lord decided to humble me; I didn't have the money for rent so I had to ask for help. The funny thing is, I wrote on my prayer request page & prayed that God would humble me months ago. An answered prayer! As difficult as it was to ask for help, it was incredibly humbling & I rejoice in the fact that the Lord decided to humble me in such a way.
Well I am hoping this will help keep everybody updated on my future plans! I will be posting photos, updates on anything going on in my life (including the things God is teaching me), & anything/everything about my future missions trips (which shall be soon!!).

Hey this is a great idea, and you should keep writing and updating this even if it seems like nobody is reading it! I really like reading about what God is doing in your life, and I can't wait to see where he takes you!
