My Story

Hi everyone! As you can see, my name is Grace, and I am going on a mission trip to South Africa! I am taking a gap year between college and graduate school and my plan had always been to travel during it. However, over the course of the past 6 months, my life changed quite a bit. I used to always make plans for my life and attempt to configure God into them afterward. Naturally, that didn't work out very well. Once I started attempting to create a personal relationship with God, I was abruptly awakened to the fact that, if I want the life He has planned for me, I have to start living under His authority and not my own. In order to do this, I need to remember that God has a plan for my life that may look entirely different than my own. As I wrestled with this thought and tried my best to surrender my authority, I felt drawn to the idea of a mission trip, rather than just travelling on my own terms. I thought and prayed A LOT about it, but I couldn't shake the feeling, so I decided to go for it, because, for me, it was a way to hand over my authority and see what God has planned for me through this trip. I am indescribably excited for this experience. I know there are so many opportunities for learning and growth through this trip and I truly believe that God will open my eyes and heart to new experiences, friendships, cultures, and so so much more over my time in South Africa!
