Meet Noah

Hello people of the interwebs, I’m Noah!

Noah

(Noah is the one on the left)

I don’t have much to say, but if you pray for our team, all of your wildest dreams will come true.*

As you can see, I like to quote or make references to movies or songs (the previous sentence being Napoleon Dynamite). I like it so much that I tried fitting in a song reference in every English paper I wrote (that wasn’t timed of course), and maybe I’ll do it here, we’ll see. Now that you know that, what important things can I share. Hmmm. I’m going to be a sophomore at Middleton, and the last two summers I went on the middle school trip to Sutton, Alaska. Alaska was a great experience, and so this year I had to really consider whether I wanted to go back to Alaska. I had started to get to know the kids there, so it felt like a place I should go (and the scenery was unbeatable), but then again, there was Romania, and Ali (my sister) had done a great job of telling stories that made me want to be there. As I was trying to figure out which place to apply to, my heart was swinging on a swingset first Alaska, and then Romania and then back again over and over again. I just couldn’t decide on a place. I wanted God to come right out and say where He wanted me and finally, in His way of helping me decide at the last possible moment, pushed me to apply for Romania.

I am super excited for this trip, but also nervous. The Romanian orphans have gone through so much that I can’t relate to and I am a little worried that because of that I won’t feel like I can comprehend where they are coming from. I know God will be at work, and He has this all figured out, so I guess I have no need to worry, but you know humans and their desire for control. This trip will be both a new adventure and eye opening, and I am thankful for all of the support that is making this trip happen.

PSYCH, That’s not my real middle name- Gotcha!

*All of your wildest dreams may not actually come true, but your prayers would be greatly appreciated, especially for understanding, safety, and that God would use us to spread his love to the Romanians and show them they are much much more than useless.

Maybe your wildest dreams will come true… I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

P.S. There are 3 Relient K references, see if you can find them all. If you need help, listen to Mood Rings (probably the greatest song ever), Come right out and Say it, and More than Useless 🙂

  1. Hey Jaquavis!

    I’ll admit, I didn’t catch the song references. But then again, I don’t listen to Relient K like you do.

    I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of really super pumped that you’re going on the trip this year too. Selfishly speaking, MORE STORIES.

    Since this is your first out of country mission trip, it’s bound to be a little tough at times. Lean on your teammates and on Him, and you’ll do just fine.

    Thanks for clarifying on the picture, Jimmy (I’m assuming it was you) because Noah and Dan look so much alike that I always get them confused.
