"Jillian, Jillian."
"What did you say God?"
"Find Jillian."
"Okay. Then what?"
"Jillian."
As my team prayed and discussed our plans for the day, I shared my conversation with God ...
A typical McDonalds visit usually consists of ordering the number of your choice with coke and an extra squirt of ketchup. Let's be honest, not much really goes down on a typical day under those golde...
Welcome
family, friends, teammates and random on-lookers to my Blog!
For those of you who may or may not know what a blog is or how in the world navigate the waters of this site, I will try to offer a few simple tips that should make it easier. The links to the left of this page are mostly self-explanatory, but I will explain some details about their function.
"Who Am I?" will give you some background information about myself.
You can send me a message by clicking "Talk to Me!" I will admit that I am only sort of good about responding to emails, mostly because I prefer to talk in person. However, I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can! Know that it blesses my heart to receive words of encouragement from you, and that will be especially true when I take off on this adventure. :) Sometimes my mind is just all over the place...
On the trip, I will try to upload as many photos as possible of the places we are visiting. You will be able to look at those from the "Browse My Photos" link! Yay!
I'll be posting new blog entries about every week on the trip. What is a blog entry, you may ask? It's basically a publicized journal entry relaying my experiences in life. It's so exciting to me that I will get to share with you what I am doing while I am actually on the other side of the world! Check out "My Blog Entries!"
After you finish reading one of my blogs, PLEASE feel free to post a comment! The bottom of the entry will have a section for that, and I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts!
If you would like to receive an email every time I update this site, go to "Update Alerts" and type in your email address. Go ahead; do it now!! You don't want to miss any of the excitement. :)
If after reading any of this you feel a desire to support me or any of my teammates on this crazy adventure, you can do so quickly and easily by going to"Support Us!"
Finally, if there's anyone you know of that may enjoy reading this blog site, "Tell a Friend" them! The more the merrier.
I hope and pray that it will encourage your heart to look and see what the Lord is doing all around the world. It really is exciting! I know that many of you reading this may one day find yourselves called to do something for the Lord that is similar to the World Race. Some of you may never find yourselves with the desire to live out of a tent for a year in a place you only read about in magazines. But whichever of the two categories you may find yourself in makes no difference; the Lord can and will use you wherever you are at! This website is a tool to encourage you to encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ that are living and working around the world. May you be blessed and filled with the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 4:7-12
