Danie

Danie was on the EuroQuest mission trip in the summer of 2011. This is what she would like to share about what she learned this summer.

Before I came on this trip I honestly didn’t want to come.  I had been planning on going for 2 years, but then that time frame had passed,  I was honestly nervous about the whole thing.  There were tons of excuses of why I didn’t want to go.  I have friends and it’s summer, there is always something I want to do with them.  But my parents told me that it wasn’t a choice anymore, God was telling them I needed to do this.  So I went with a hardened heart for the most part.  I was angry at my family that they were “ trying” to ruin my relationship with my friends.  When I arrived at training camp I was still mad, but then one of the sermons changed me.  I realized that God would never want the wrong thing for me and that He still loved me, even after all the things I had done and how angry I had been at my parents.  God has taught me how to have peace and how to forgive others and myself.  I know I’m not perfect and that I will mess up, but I also know that God loves me and will never leave me.
