The Beginning

So this is the beginning.... It becomes more and more evident every day that God has called me to something huge. My hope is that this blog becomes a journal of my adventures in missions.

So i guess I will first explain the meaning of the title of my blog... While it does hugely deal with the fact that God calls all believers to be salt and light to the world, God has given me a significant meaning of that scripture in my life. God has told me on many occasions that He has made me physically different for a reason. God gave me red hair and a fair complexion to stand out in the mission field. God has called me (I believe) to be a missionary to Black nations. He has called me to visually stand out in those places so that His word can go farther, so that people will be drawn to me, and ultimately to Him through me.

I am constantly amazed that God has chosen to use me as unworthy as I am... Last year I spent a month in Uganda with some of the most amazing people in the world. It was a completely life-changing and jump started my desire to fulfill my calling. In 31 days I leave for Haiti. I cannot wait to go and see what else God has planned for me....
