Dear God,
You've been so good to me these past 4 months. I'm finally happy, I finally have true friends that live close to me and take care of me when I need help, I finally feel comfortable, I finally feel at home and I'm finally growing into the person You want me to become.
I have gone through many struggles, but I've victoriously come out of each one of them stronger than I was before.
I thank you so much for bringing me here. I thank you so much for this house, these people, my work and my classes and for all that I'm learning.
Lord, there are so many things that people expect me to know of my future and decisions I need to make, but I feel that right now I must concentrate on what's going on TODAY and trust in you. I'm not worrying because I know that you'll help me figure out what I must do once I'm done with Project 12 when the time comes for me to really make the decision. Because you have my whole life already planned out and I just need to live it out.
Thank you for this day and for all my friends and family all over the world.
Love,
Whitney
About Me
- Whitney
- I'm a 25 year old who loves to travel, serve and learn. I grew up and lived for 18 years in Italy where my parents were missionaries for 22 years. I lived for 2 years in Chicago where I completed a discipleship training school called Project 12 in the Jesus People USA Community (JPUSA) and worked for one of their homeless shelters. I then lived with my family in Portugal for a year teaching (1st, 6th, 7th grades and high school) at a small International Christian school.
I just completed my Bachelors of Arts in Education at Azusa Pacific University in California and I am in the process of becoming a missionary to China to work with children with disabilities and orphans and bring Christ's love to them.
-- How beautiful it is that God does not want to change the world without us. So often we ask God "Why don't you do something about injustice and poverty in the world?" and we can hear Him say back "I did do something, I made YOU" -- A quote I heard Shane Claiborne say once and which I find strongly inspirational.

So beautiful...
I hope you don't think I'm one of the people who expect you to know what you'll do after Project 12... just rest and live each day as God is calling you to. In due time, the next step will become clearer.
