What's She Up To?

- In 2011-2012, I led a team of 5 college-aged students to serve in Alerce, Chile for 6 months. These are the stories of our preparations and international adventures. Due to the sensitive nature of our purpose in Chile, you will notice some words contain hyphens where letters should be. This was intentional. Please do your best to guess what church-related word fits the text. With time for due reflection, I can safely say that this experience changed my life. The stories that you read here serve as the tip of an iceberg - one whose depths I'm still discovering years later. IF YOU'RE VISITING THIS BLOG FOR THE FIRST TIME, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ CHRONOLOGICALLY FROM THE BEGINNING.

The term "legacy" was a term that really spoke to me during a very difficult summer; a summer during which I was very alone in my f--th for the first time, and surrounded by people who didn't know J-s-s. This was also about the time Nichole Nordeman's "Legacy" was featured on my most played list.
The chorus poignantly reflects, "I want to leave a legacy. How will they remember me? Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough to make a mark on things? I want to leave an offering. A child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name unapologetically - and leave that kind of legacy."
That is a perfect description of what I want my life, and my time in Chile to be: a testament to G-d's love through selflessness and intentionality. To be a child of mercy and grace who knowingly chooses to bless His name without hesitation or apology.
What's in a name? That's what.
Here's to my first blog post ever, and many more to come.
