10 years later I still just want to help :)

Exactly ten years ago I found myself in God's word and although I was alone, I was no longer lost. I can still remember jotting all my goals down in my yellow composition journal that was meant for science class. After watching the news I realized that no matter where I lived there would always be people suffering around me and with me. I thought to myself, "now how am I going to ever be able to help the whole world?! It’s impossible!" I was crushed. The next day was a day that changed my life... Still "crushed" and home alone like any other Saturday, I was surprised to hear a knock on my door. I walked over to the door and to my surprise it was "la senora Jeanette" She was a long time friend of the family that I had known since I was in diapers. Still surprised and confused I welcomed her inside. The rest was pretty simple; she had heard that I had been hopping around from religion to religion, church to church in search for answers (that’s another story!)and she was curious to know the reason why. I said, "well I want to know god and why things are the way they are, ...well I wanted at least" she asked me why I had stopped searching for the answers, I told her briefly how I had been asked to leave from many churches for asking questions, so I decided to take it upon myself to help (started volunteer work early on) but then I realized that I wasn't able to, it was a job to big for just me. She then asked me "Well, do you have a bible?" "yes" I answered, "well there are your answers, do you want to study together so you can find them? That way you will learn not only about God, but also why things are this way and how YOU as an individual can help?" I did not hesitate to say yes and accept a biblical study in my home. I studied for four hours that very day and fell in love with what I learned. God is loving, and his name is Jehovah! (am I the only one who was oblivious to his name??!)  He does not cause nor ignore the fact that humanity suffers. And he WILL do something to change it all very soon, but meanwhile I CAN help! I am only one person, one imperfect person with limitations, but Jehovah God is almighty with no limitations so if I help people learn the same I have already, he will do the rest. It was all so clear to me; I needed to share this good news with everyone and anyone, go as far as I can to share them. Later on I had a lot of opposition and I mean A LOT from my parents and others that did not allow me to get started on my new goals until I was 18 years old (another story with that, to be continued...) but I am very happy and grateful to be able to say that 10 years later at 22 years old I am still taking those same goals very seriously. It feels like it took me forever to get to this point that at a time seemed almost impossible because of all the obstacles but I am here. I have been sharing the good news locally for the past 4 years and I am now ready to go international. In 19 days I will be traveling to Guatemala for about two months to share all of Gods promises that I have learned in the Bible. Looking back I would have never ever thought this would be actually taking place in my life. I thank Jehovah god for always keeping my goals and dreams in my heart even through all the opposition and after ten years. There is no better way I could want to spend my youth and energies but the exact same way I wanted to ten years ago...
