Ever since working with missions in Mexico my senior year, the spanish culture has just been a part of my heart. I am humbled by the state some of these families live in, yet they are some of the happiest and joyous people I've ever met. Planning for this trip has had a lot of obstacles through my first two years at North Georgia, and I wasn't even sure if I was going to get my minor after all. By God's grace, my schedule worked out perfectly to fit my spanish classes, and I pulled out an A in my hardest spanish class last semester. When I heard about the change of plans for the study abroad trip and the details of working with Amigos for Christ, I knew that none of that was by chance. It was not by chance that my heart goes out to the spanish culture and language. It was not by chance that the Lord has been sovereign over my schedule. It was not by chance that this trip is more than just school credit. And as confirmation of everything, it was not by chance that the funds for the trip worked out the way they did. I am so blessed and thankful for His guidance.
To me, this trip is just another way to share God's endless love with those around me and to be a light to dark hearts. I pray that the Lord would do His great work through me and use me to impact others' lives. He has blessed me in so many ways and has given me gifts to be used for His glory, so that is what I want to do...all for His name.
