I have some news. Some great news. News that confirms a dream and desire I have had for roughly 12 years. If you are reading this and you have known me at any time during the last twelve years, you will know teaching was the main focus. There was a season of missions that still revolved around teaching. I enjoyed teaching, I enjoyed guiding, I enjoyed kids of all ages, I enjoyed learning and most of all, I enjoyed serving the Father. I didn’t do this perfectly and got lost a couple times along the way. But He never left me lost. Even in my lost seasons, I never stopped teaching. Teaching is very much a part of who my innermost being is, however, I never truly grasped how broad that desire was.

Read MoreMy PURPOSE, I have a love hate relationship with that word so it hit home, is to finish MY COURSE AND MINISTRY. Not anyone else’s, not any other organization’s, not any other church’s or donor’s course and ministry but MINE given to ME by the Father. Wow. My three years in Haiti were a constant struggle in this sense.

No wonder I was constantly failing, THOSE WEREN’T MINE TO FINISH. What FREEDOM!

I had led myself to believe that since I wasn't a "missionary" living in Haiti, that dream had to die. But as I wrestled this lie, I remembered that the vision and dream I've had behind D2B was instilled in my heart before I even went to Haiti. That lie has no hold on me anymore. Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Not even the slightest clue what is supposed to happen next. I know I'm not an expert or even considered "experienced" by most. I don’t have super eloquent words or a captivating writing ability. What I do know is that I can convey my emotions and thoughts well in words and that each and every experience and circumstance I've encountered so far, has taught me something and I am compelled to share. I know I've been called to shine light in the darkness. Reveal the truth. Expose the lies, specifically regarding missions. The desire and passion I have to teach and lead is not something I can keep starving. I'm ready. This is my awakening.
