Wow, where in the world would I begin to tell you anything about myself and what God has really been doing in my life?

I am about to start the final semester of high school and I will be moving on. What a scary but very exciting time! I love all that I do with school, cheerleading, volleyball, singing and visiting the nursing home, working at my dad's office once a week, and also working at my church with the fourth and fifth grade girls. 

God has been doing a lot in my life even in the past year.  God has opened and closed opportunities that I have learned through.  To make a long story short, I had been sick for quite a while and I went through a lot of tests, but the doctor could not find anything. Finally, I just got sick of being sick and the summer of '08 came.  I didn't have any symptoms over the summer, but once school started, so did the problems.  I sat out of what I loved: volleyball. This caused me to be able to help coach Junior High volleyball and manage the Varsity team, and I loved it!  Don't get me wrong, it was very challenging, but God used it in my life so much and I learned more and more about God.

God has laid this mission trip to Africa.  I want to share my love with the young kids of South Africa and show them what God can do for them! I can't wait to get on God's mission field for an entire nine months!
