The Journey- Part 1

There are some that have heard this story but many might not have or atleast not all of it. The Journey refers to the set of events that lead to my becoming part of AIM and going to Uganda. It is in a way both a short and long story to tell. It is short because it was entirely God, it is long becuase there have been a number of things that have happened along the way.

  While this story is some ways goes a bit farther back, I will began at really a key point that got the whole thing rolling. I was in my second semester at college, I had started classes only a few weeks prior. It was around the end of January, up until this point in time I thought I knew what I would be doing. I was preparing to get a degree in something along the lines of Freshwater Biology, get a good job, and maybe occasionally do a little missions work. Well God had other ideas though, and by the end of that week much had changed. The two biggest being I knew that atleast for the time being (possibly for good) I was to leave off studying at college, and I was to began prepare to go into the ministry.

  During the summer of 2011 I was able to go on two missions trip. Both of them where to places that I had not expected to go. The first was to hot, humid south mississippi definitely not a place a had thought I would end up going. The second trip ended up being to Haiti, yet another place I had not planned on going.  (yes this sorta becoming a theme) These two trips definitely in a way cemented the call of my going into ministry.

 Well that is sorta the first part of the story. I know that I didn't even mention how AIM comes into play with all of this but that will have to wait. So until Part 2, yall must patiently wait.

  1. Every part of Mississippi is hot,humid,sticky, sweaty, did I mention HOT in the summertime. And summer starts in about mid March and goes to late Oct. or so every year! We love you and are excited to read about the journey the Lord is taking you on and your responses to it! Love, Aunt Donna (you know the one in Mississippi!)
