Once Upon a Time

This is the story of a girl who dares to believe that nothing is impossible. Moving forward with the memories of the past and the assurance of what I've hoped for in the future, I will continue to step into places that display the love and power of God on the behalf of his children. My hope is that as I learn to walk in faith, impossibilities will fall not only in my life but in the lives of others who begin to challenge the obstacles that stand between them and the fulfillment of their heart's desires.

So, let me set the stage..... I am a college graduate with a student loan debt that eats house loans for lunch. At this point, that four years could have bought me a nice 4 bedroom home. I'm a ministry school student who pays my bills month to month from a waitress' salary, and God has laid it upon my heart to become a missionary in foreign country where the exchange rate to American dollars is miserable. I have no affluent friends or connections, no major backers or donors, no hidden inheritances....I just have the will to let God make a way.

So, what good is a blog about impossibilities without something impossible? On top of the ludicrous nature of the idea that I could become a missionary carrying an insurmountable student loan debt, about a month ago I felt as though God was telling me to go on a three month trip to India. It starts this coming February and ends in May. The total cost of the trip Is approximately $6,100, none of which I have the ability to pay for myself. Every dime I make goes toward ministry school, living expenses, and bills. To me, right now, $6,100 in three months looks utterly impossible. I know, however, that if God invited me to go He will forge a way. Chapter One is the story of a journey to India....
