The last two years of my life since embarking on the significant faith journey to Nepal in 2007 have been the most life-filled years of my short existence. Going on Nehemiah last summer further grew me in ways that I was ignorant to my need for filling. So, in short, my Nepal year started my life in the sense that I live it now.

Before Nepal I knew who God was and I had knowledge of Him, but in Nepal and [at] Training Camp, I saw Him for the first time, right there beside me. And I realized that I had never taken the time to seek Him. So, going on Royal Servants for the first time helped me realize my need for God and my lack of trying to get to Him so far.

One last thing, I sense God’s joy in me most when I am writing. I am aspiring to become an author, and I would like to be published before I graduate high-school. I am attempting to publish a short story that I wrote and I will be sending it in to a contest in May. So, writing is a way that I feel that I glorify God.

On Nehemiah we made our personal Mission Statements. Mine is short but I think it sums up what I am on earth for (as far as my limited vision can see).

My mission is to reveal the spiritual realm to the secular community, revive the lukewarm believers, refresh the followers, and to spiritually challenge people through literature.

I hope that God can use my writing to further His kingdom and to glorify Himself through me.
