In high school, I was deeply searching for truth. I noticed there was this burning in my chest to talk about the Truth I was discovering. I talked with whoever there was an open door to talk with. Coming to Liberty as a business major, I was excited to engage and build relationships with people. One day during my second semester, I tried evangelism club, and my heart was stirred even more. I thought, “This has to be something important the Lord is trying to show me.”
I got an internship with the sports marketing team to build my resume, but a couple months into it, I felt like I wasn’t where I was supposed to be and that the Lord had something else for me. I stopped my internship and spent the next several months praying and fasting, asking, “Lord, I have no clue what I’m doing. Where do You want me?” I knew the Lord was leading me toward ministry, but I was trying to understand what that looked like. When I spoke with the advisor for Global Studies, my heart had that same burning feeling, and my eyes filled with tears. I realized the things the Lord had been putting on my heart matched what she was describing the major to be.
I don’t know what the Lord wants for me long-term, but right now I’m being led in obedience to pursue this internship. Through this opportunity, I hope to serve others, share the good news of Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and learn how the Lord wants me to use the gifts He’s given me. Right now, pursuing this internship in Estonia is what it looks like for me to be faithful with the opportunity He has given me.
