Hey! So, this is my blog. I started this while I was preparing to head out to Uganda on a mission trip Sept.-Dec. 2011, but I never kept up with it. So I'm restarting! Welcome to my restart. :)
The main reason I'm getting this guy restarted is because I want people who want to be involved in my life through prayer and support to have the opportunity to do so. I will be posting on new things going on in my life, things I am pondering, things I want prayer for, etc. I'm gonna try to post as often as I can, but we all know how life can get :P
Speaking of life, let me tell you about mine.
My name is Kiersten. I am 21 and currently live with my family in Minneapolis, MN while going to school at North Hennepin Community College, where I am hoping to get my Associate's in business management. I go to school full time. I also work part time at Perkins Restaurant and Bakery as a server and a shift leader.
I got back from a 3 1/2 month long mission trip from Uganda a little more than a month ago where I made some best friends, learned some amazing lessons, and got to be closer to God than I ever have been. The trip was incredible and, up to the this point, the best thing I've experienced. I expect to experience many more incredible, awesome, exciting things.
All of these future expectations revolve around God. He has big, big plans for this world, and He wants me to play a part in those plans.
Some of His plans for me involve leading a trip with Adventures in Missions, which I have applied for and am currently waiting to be interviewed for the position. Some other plans include getting (at least) my Associate's Degree (maybe even my Bachelor's, I'm not clear on that point yet).
Even though I've been back in the states a little longer than a month, I'm still trying to get used to it. Adjusting back to the cold, the food, and the business that are here has been somewhat difficult, but God is teaching me how to be joyful in all situations and seasons of life.
That being said, I must now return to my business and get ready for a shift at Perkins. Thanks for reading, and I'll keep you as updated as I can!
In Christ,
Kiersten
