I want to make a difference.
Sounds cliche, eh? Yes. It does. Cause everyone is saying that these days. Forgive me, but it almost seems like the new trend in Christianity. Well, I actually want to follow this trend.
There's a verse.
"And of some have compassion. Making a difference"
Jude 22
I don't know about you, but that's a super powerful verse to me. I read, then read it again, and again, and again, and again. I thought, wow. A verse plainly stating. Amanda Hall, you will make a difference. All those dreams. All those goals. They can and they WILL happen. That verse told me. Go for it.
Now, it's a good possibility I should probably tell you what in heaven's name I'm speaking of. I'll tell you in one word. Then I'll possibly elaborate. :)
Here's the word.
Taiwan.
Yes, that was it. Taiwan.
Why?
I have a close friend, and her sister went to Taiwan. I know two other girls, they went to Taiwan.
Ever since I heard a little about it, I've had such a passion for that. I want to go.
For what?
To teach.
Teach who?
The little girls an boys in the public schools over there.
Teach what?
English, and Character.
So why?
Because, I love them.
But why?
Because, God told me to. He instilled this dream/idea/mindset in me.
How long?
A year. One full year.
You're probably thinking...ummm helloooo, aren't you too young for this?
Yep, right now I am. But when I turn eighteen I won't. :)
You're probably a little bored of my ramblings. But, thinking about this, it pumps me up.
This is definitely God's plan for me.
Wanna know how?
This past week, I got hear a man speak on this. I was just sitting there, didn't even know he was gonna talk about it, then he said Taiwan, of course my head popped up and I held my breath. I was thinking..."is he talking about what I think he is?"
Yes, he was.
I've been praying about this for so long, telling God, if this is for me. Give me proof. Well, proof hit me on the head this past week. Yep. Guess who's gonna go to Taiwan.
Yep, that'd be me.
