Time has flown by this year. As my first year comes to a close, I've been reflecting on some of the conversations I've had this past year. I've been asked so many questions & had many talks with various family, friends, donors, & strangers. Some are serious, some are funny. Overall, they all reflect what type of year I've had. Here are just a few of the questions I've encountered...
- When are you going to graduate? I've actually already graduated...from college...last year... What are you going to do now that you're done with school? I'm working full-time for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in Montgomery County, Maryland.
- Is this a permanent situation? I'd like to believe so. I plan on working for FCA as long as God calls me. Are you going to get a raise anytime soon? I'm not sure. It depends on how much I can raise on a monthly basis. But if you join as one of my monthly supporters, I'll be that much closer to getting one... When will you get a promotion? I don't think so. I like the position I'm in & already have so much going on with being an Area Representative. A promotion would be overwhelming!
- How has this year on staff been? It's been amazing! But it's flown by so fast. So much has happened that I can't wait to see what God has in store next! What's it like to be in ministry? It's definitely different every day, which is something that I love. It's really helped me grow in my faith & as a leader.
- How did you get involved with FCA? I was introduced to FCA in middle school through their summer camps. Then, I volunteered in high school at Power Camp & interned with them for 3 summers through college. During my last year of college, I started raising support & came on staff on June 1 of 2011. Will you continue being on staff? I plan on being on staff for as long as God calls me. However, I don't foresee changing careers anytime soon.
- What are your plans once this year is up? I plan on continuing to serve & work for the FCA ministry. Do you plan on going to grad school? No, I don't see myself going back to school anytime soon.
- Do your parents approve of your job? Yes, they do. They are proud of me for obeying God's calling & fully support myself & the FCA ministry. Do your other relatives/family support what you do? It's hard to say. I would say some fully support me in what I do while others think I'm doing a good thing by working for a non-profit. Either way, they are my family & I love them, regardless if they approve or not.
- Do you know Jeremy Lin or Tim Tebow? No, sorry, I don't know either of them personally. Can you get either of them to speak at our school/event/church? No, I honestly have no connections to them. Sorry!
God has truly blessed me with a job that I love & the future of a career that would provide joy & fulfillment. I look forward to work on a daily basis & get excited when new opportunities arise. I'm honestly content with where God has placed me & cannot wait to see what He has in store for me & FCA, as a ministry & specifically here in Montgomery County.
