Isaiah 6:8 “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
I’m so glad you’ve taken the time out of your day to learn more about me and my crazy, hard, and beautiful life. For those of you who don’t know me personally, my name is Alicia. I am in my mid-20s. I love all things Batman, all things coffee, and all things your typical nerd might enjoy (like comics and Pokemon). And I am extremely blessed to say that I have been given the opportunity to live out the calling the Lord has placed on my life in the beautiful nation of Haiti.
My goal is to share about my experiences living as a missionary in Haiti through an honest perspective. We tend to post our “best” on social media… I know I do. I post the pictures of the laughter and fun. I post the smiling babies, not the sick ones. I post my most joyful days, not the ones filled with heartache and defeat. I share the victories, not the losses.
But the reality is this: Following our calling is hard. It most certainly is not always full of laughter and joy. Choosing to live in nation where injustice and hurt is deep rooted holds a heaviness that I struggle to accurately put into words. I want to lift the veil on this perspective a bit, if I could. I want to be honest about what’s hard.
I am so thankful that you are choosing to join me in my journey! I can’t wait to share with you the highs, the lows, the joys, the pain, and ultimately the wonderful lessons the Lord has been teaching me since I chose to walk with Him in obedience and step into the calling He placed on my life.
And so, here we go….
