Until The Whole World Hears..

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." -1Timothy 4.12

Hi guys, a lot has been going on over on this side of the country. I hope everyone is continuing to stay safe with the crazy weather going on. I can't complain, I wore shorts today - #californiaweather
Anyways, I just wanted to give you all an update on everything that has been going on. As you all know, I am still trying to figure out what God has planned for me these next couple of years, as well as most of you and my friends. BUT with lots of prayer and thought, I think I have slowly been shown the path I was meant to follow. With that said, I will let you know what has been going on.
A couple of months ago, my heart has definitely been leading me to continuing more work for Christ and his children. SIGNS, that's something that I firmly believe in, especially ones sent from up above.
The main sign I have received is one calling me to become a missionary for Catholic teens through Life Teen.

"Life Teen Missions “feeds the 5000” through local outreach, through meals-on-wheels routes, and through foreign missions to Haiti, but our focus is really to “train the twelve.” Centered on the Eucharist and Mary, rooted in prayer, community and outreach, and focused on the youth of our world, Life Teen Missions is committed to forming young adults, couples and families to become life-long missionaries who love our youth and believe in God’s transforming power through the Movement of Life Teen."

Through everything that has happened, all signs seem to leading me to this new chapter in my life.
So lets talk about the "signs" I have been receiving:

1. So you may think I'm crazy, but I took one of those BuzzFeed quizzes and it said that I should live in Georgia - aka - where the Life Teen mission is based out of.
2.  I've never felt more comfortable in a decision that I have made in the past couple of years than I have with this one. 
3. After all the many prayers and thoughts on this decision, I have never felt more at peace with something I think I should be doing, than with this.
4. The last sign was actually as mass tonight, when I heard the song "I will choose Christ" leaving church. As the closing sign, I think it was the last sign to confirm my decision in the this next step in my life. 

 I love working with teens and children, I love my Catholic faith, so why not do both and be a missionary to young adults?
With that, I just ask that you to send your love, thoughts, and prayers to this decision. I will be visiting the mission mid March to check it out in hopes that it will be a perfect match for both me and the mission. With much faith, lets hope that this will all work out! Spread the word of God, until the whole world hears..
