It’s been about 6 months since I flew back from the beautiful British Virgin Islands, but it feels like yesterday. I would have posted these so much sooner but last semester was VERY difficult and busy in every avenue of life, so I’m really just now getting to it.

The trip to the British Virgin Islands has been phenomenal!! I fell in love with the service, the ministry and the worship that we participated in! I fell in love with the long talks, the intentional bonding and memories I created with my fellow choir members! I fell in love with the culture, the people and getting to see God's creation through a whole new way. 

I fell in love with this trip.

I worshiped. I painted. I played with children. I served. I learned. I created relationships. I snorkeled. I explored. I laughed till I cried. I had the time of my life on this mission trip with the Lee University Campus Choir; and the ministry and memories that I take away will last a lifetime.

Thank you.

Thank you to all the amazing friends and family that gave!! I pray blessings on each and every one of you for making such an impact, even through just a few dollars. Because of your gift, I was able to see the world in an entirely different way, and can now earn my cross-cultural credit at Lee University.

Because of your gift, my life has been forever changed.

And ALL glory goes to my Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, for providing an opportunity and a way. Thank You Lord for your call and for you salvation on my life. I'm constantly amazed that God would place such a call on my life to travel the world and lead others in worship to Him. I feel so unworthy, yet confident that this is what He has prepared and anointed me to do. I have no idea the future He has set forth for me, but I shall set no limitations as to how far and how big He will use me.

The British Virgin Islands was one of my first stamps in my passports, and I can't wait to see God fill every page. Pages filled with wonderful memories. With intentional ministry. With lives changed. With saved hearts. With exalted worship. With countries explored. With new relationships. And with ALL glory given to God!!!
