Traversing Life's Journey

Dear Carol,

It’s such a joy to meet you!

I believe it was never intended that anyone should traverse life’s journey alone. Along the way, we need friends with whom to share experiences, trade heartaches, and persevere; mentees into whose lives to pour the overflow of our joys, our dreams, the best of ourselves, and the lessons we’ve learned; seasoned travelers to show us the guideposts and emulate the strength and courage it takes to make the most of the journey.

My journey began twenty-seven years ago when my mother, at the risk of her own life and to the displeasure of her community, chose to carry me to term. I learned the joy of giving from an early age. The insecurity, limited resources, and political instability of my country were the unlikely incubator for my dream of making a difference.

You and World Pulse come to me at a crucial moment in my journey. I am unfurling into a season of giving, giving with purpose, and I must learn to harness every resource at my disposal.

Thank you for your availability to come alongside a fellow sojourner to be a voice in my ear and an advocate for my voice; a friend, a sister, and a cheerer-on.

I am excited to know you better and grow through this experience as a Voices of Our Future Correspondent.

I pray we find at the end of our lives’ journeys that we have traveled well and we have come Home!
