Kristen D's Story

Ok I'm not really good at this so please forgive me in advance.  This past year I have completely given my life to Christ. Yes I grew up going to church, but it never really clicked for me. I have learned so much and my # 1 prayer has been for God to use me. When I started attending this college age class it was perfect, it's what we were learning about. Completely trusting in God with everything and letting the Holy Spirit take control of your life. When Courtney mentioned this mission trip to the Dominican, I was excited and yet so worried about finding the time to take off work and money. So I've been praying about it, and I recently got back from a mission trip from Alabama. It was so amazing to be one of God's tools in his big project.  I was working so hard in the dead heat, cleaning, sweating and getting up at like 6 everyday. And it was so great because I did it all for Him.  I want to go to the Dominican and do it for HIM! I want to show Christs love to these children. God wants to use us and in the process he wants to transform us. I truly believe this and when we go out into the world, out of the comfort of our lives, homes, work and churches and see life in other places, and show the LOVE of Christ it will make a difference.  I am so excited for God to use all of us and have us all  grow closer together and even more excited for us to grow closer to HIM!
