Dream Big!

I'm sure everyone has heard the saying, "The Lord works in mysterious ways" many times, but it is so true!  Growing up I loved softball! It is practically all I did and I had some big dreams!  I dreamed of one day moving out of the state of Missouri to some big D1 college like the University of Washington or UCLA (any of the top softball schools as I was growing up) and then my dreams got even bigger than that!  I wanted to play on the USA Olympic softball team and travel the world!   These were some pretty significant dreams I had but I was hopeful!  However, God didn't have the same plans for me.  Eventually injury after injury took me down to where it was just too painful and no fun to play anymore.  So I started at MU with no softball scholarship and all previous dreams completely crushed....or were they?  Next thing I know I am no longer in college and on a plane to Burkina Faso, Africa!  Step number 1 in traveling the world!  And now I am just over a month away
