You may know me as Deborah, or Rora, or Gerald-and-Susan's-Daughter, or Ray-and-Nancy's granddaughter, but above all else, I am a daughter of the Father of lights, God. I graduated from the University of South Carolina a month and a half ago, and in two weeks, on July 1, I will move from South Carolina to London, England, to be a part of Youth With a Mission in Notting Hill.
I cannot thank those of you who have supported me enough. Three weeks ago, I needed $6000. I graduated college with no money, and now, thanks to your generosity and God's hand, I have raised $3500. That leaves me $2500 to raise in the remaining time until my departure.
This blog has two purposes. The first is to keep everybody updated on what I am doing in London. If you know me at all, you know that I rarely go anywhere without at least one of my cameras. I do not plan on changing that. I will definitely be sharing my pictures here.
I was also a small group Bible Study leader at Shandon Baptist, the church that I have attended ever since moving to Columbia, SC. This past semester, my friend Donielle and I led a Bible Study on the practical elements of being a young woman of God. I don't want to stop helping my girls just because I am moving away, so a fair few of these posts may be about growing up to be a Godly woman.
I hope that you will enjoy these updates, and that you will not hesitate to comment or contact me if you need to do so. I will pray for you guys, too, if you send me prayer requests. I will even answer questions.
I would also love if you would pray for me as I prepare to move to London. It's nerve-wracking to try to fit my life into one suitcase, but I am also confident as I walk in the middle of God's will for my life.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17
