What is it you do again?

Day 6 - If I couldn't answer with my job, how would I describe what I do.

Yes. So glad she said DON'T use your job to describe yourself. I love my current job (I never thought I'd see the day when I could say such a thing.) but I definitely don't think it defines me!

But then again, what DO I do?!

What a question....especially for a 20-something who is just finding her way in this world!!

For JUST a second I considered saying "I do me." as is standard for my generation to answer in such a way...and then I grew up. I mean realllllly what does that even mean?!! I do me...well of course you do??
Doesn't everyone do them?! Ok, rant over :)

So, I DO a lot of things. But what do I love, what keeps me up at night, what do I live for and yearn to do day after day after day?????? (I understand that WASN'T the question, but we've discussed that I'm dramatic, no?)

That would have to be God, music, and acting. 

I worship. I sing. I do them together and that makes me a most happy girl. Singing brings so much joy to my life, I couldn't imagine going a day without it. I am also an actress, although I haven't been in a production in a couple of years, I still identify with this title and hope that it finds itself more prevalent in my life in the near future.

I love creating, as well. Whether that's creating ideas, working on crafty projects, baking; I love creativity!!

But truly truly truly if I'm being honest and digging way down deep....my heart lies in missions. And I DO believe that one day, God will pave a way for me to do all of these things together (worship, create, sing, and act!) on a regular basis!! He has already allowed me to do them on a mission trip to Nicaragua in 2010! We performed a silent drama for an amazing church there and led worship with them as well!

The very sweaty mission team after a LONG hard day of work! But we couldn't be happier about it!

Nicaragua was one of the best and most cherished times of my life. I loved every sweaty second of that trip!! We held feeding lines, medical clinics, visited orphanages, and most importantly shared with them the hope that brings light to their lives! Most of them had nothing more than a bed and four walls to call home (some not even that!) and they were still so thankful for all that God had given them. THAT is humility!!

At one of our medical clinics washing the feet of children who had sores and cuts because they didn't have any shoes. 

Precious kids from our Vacation Bible School!! 

And this little guy just couldn't be left out!! A little Nicaraguan baby who holds my heart!!

That's what I do...what I'm doing and aspire to do, they're all intertwined! I love so many things, but these are the things near and dear to my heart!
