I am only one.
But I am one.
I cannot do Everything.
But I can do Something.
The Something I ought to do, I can do.
And by the Grace of God, I will.
But I am one.
I cannot do Everything.
But I can do Something.
The Something I ought to do, I can do.
And by the Grace of God, I will.

It is funny to look at your life and how you always pictured it and then in all actuality it is something completely different. That is the story of my life today and I praise Jesus for it. It turns out His picture for my life was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.
Last year I went on the World Race, July 2008 squad, and
it changed my life. It changed the way I saw God, it gave me a new sense of freedom in worship and in life, it secured my true identity in Christ, the race opened my eyes to the devastation around the world, and it put me on a new path for my life. Before I went on the race I was doing the corporate thing and trying to find where I fit and what I was supposed to do with ![]()
my life. I went to school for Fashion Merchandising and learned after a few years in that field that it was not for me. So the search began for my purpose. I was working a desk job as a medical recruiter and drowning in it. My heart told me there had to be more to life than just clocking in and out of work and being involved in my singles ministry at church. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my life in Atlanta. I was so happy that was one of the main reasons it took me so long to search for my true calling. But I could no longer de
ny it, I was hungry for more of life and ultimately just more of God.

God enough to fully surrender myself to longer term mission work,
especially while I was single. I remember the day I felt my true
calling to missions. I was driving down I-85 in Atlanta and praising
along with Third Day. All of a sudden I couldn’t breathe, but I felt
breathe coming into me that wasn’t mine. The Lord was breathing into my
soul and saying trust Me and follow Me. Woah… that was an intense
moment. I searched and tried to find where the “follow Me” part would
take me. That was 3 years before I signed up for the race. Little did I know my life would never be the same the day I found the World Race online.

God asked more of me this year. He asked me see myself the way He sees me. He asked me to stand up and do things I thoughts only others were capable of doing. God asked me to be radical and bold for Him for the rest of my life. I found myself this year. I came to life by loving on the women who have given their bodies to prostitution in Asia, by holding orphaned children all over the world, and by looking into the eyes of a woman dying from AIDS in Swaziland I found a God who loves the world. I came to life in ministry and mission work this year. I accept the calling God has placed on my life and choose to answer it.
So now, I am on a journey with God to win souls for Him. I am on a journey to awaken a generation that is comfortable with the OK and not seeking the GREATNESS that they were created for. America, God has BIG plans for you!
