"Knock! Knock!" He knocked. Jesus has started knocking on my door since I was a kid."....."
Not only no one was answering, but I escaped Him through the back door and lived life my way. It's a fancy world out there, and it got me so lost that I forgot the way to home.
I am a graphic designer working in the field of marketing and branding. I communicate with my audience with visual images and creative copies. As fancy as it sounds, I was just trying to sell a product/service through my work. For all my life I thought I was passionate about creative art, but slowly I realized the longer I stayed in this "creative" industry, the less creative I became.
In many ways, I was a lost soul. "Knock! Knock!" He knocked again. In fact, He never stops knocking.

I am slow in understanding what God is trying to tell me. Honestly, I didn't quite know why I wanted to be on this trip in the beginning. I was merely intrigued by the idea and wanted to see how we can "sell gospel" through art. It just seemed to be a spontaneous thing for me to do, so I signed up. But God is good and merciful. I feel that instead of using me on the trip, God is using this trip for my own growth. He is helping me to see more clearly every day why I am here writing this blog and prepping for this trip. Because of His unfailing love, me and my world begin to transform. I am learning and growing stronger in faith as I move forward with Him every step of the way. It's now my turn to go spread the joy and show people the way back home.
This coming June will mark the first anniversary of this prodigal daughter's return. Although it's only been a year and she is still pretty young in her journey of faith, guess what? He's ready to send her off on mission.
"...I am the Lord, in its time I will do it swiftly." Isaiah 60:22
