Yesterday I did SO much! At the end of the day, it felt like two days had past when, in fact, it had been only one.
Last night I got to play broom ball for the first time! You're supposed to play it on ice, but we played it on the snow. It was so much fun!! Though now we're all aching haha
Before we played broom ball, Josh had a meeting with us about India... Brian and Ami (the main Project 12 leaders) and their friend Josh have decided to bring a group of people to India for about two weeks in December (probably during Christmas). Brian and Josh went to India for a whole month last autumn and felt called to work with an Indian man who has an orphanage and a great ministry over there. I'd LOVE to go, but I know that I should wait to get an answer from God...Unfortunately, the meeting I went to was to tell us that they want a definite answer by the end of this month! So now I really need to pray a lot and hope that I get a YES or NO answer from God, instead of a MAYBE (which is what I got when praying to come here). If I do end up going it will cost about 2000$ (including VISA and shots), but I'm not too worried about that.
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.
