On my very recent visit to Morocco, I landed in Casablanca and felt like I could breathe for the first time. I felt like I had just arrived home; like I had lived there in a past life. I visited Morocco with the intention of checking it off of my list, but I never thought I would visit again or think about moving there. There was this huge weight put on my heart to stay there forever. There is no way to explain how it feels when God calls you to do something. So now there are a lot of people who think I am crazy or who are doubting me.

Well, when God calls, I answer.

I absolutely fell in love with Morocco and it was more than just a travel high. It was a pure longing to get to know everything about the people and their culture. I saw ways I could help women's cooperatives and make a difference. There were new things to try all around me and it has been a while since I have felt like that. My entire heart changed and I was willing to throw my life plans out the window and completely trust in what God had planned for me.

When I arrived back to USC, I saw my dorm which I have loved, and I cried. I see my friends' posts about USC and I don't feel the same way I once did. I never anticipated anything like this would happen to me but there is no other way to explain it. God is calling me to Morocco and you don't have to believe me.

I have been told that there are plenty of other countries that need my help. My response to them is that, yes, I agree the entire world could use help but God has plenty of sons and daughters to disperse them throughout the world. God wants me in Morocco, so I am going to start there and see what happens. I have been told that I need to calm down from my trip and then I will realize that I don't want to live there. Well, this is more than just a travel high.

I have been fortunate enough to travel my entire life and I have never cried arriving home. In fact, I am usually ready to get home. This was completely different and unlike anything else I have ever felt in my life.

You don't have to believe me or understand my reasons. I mean, I don't even know how to explain this feeling. So if you don't understand, that might be my fault. But when God calls you somewhere one day, I hope you answer and trust in him completely.

It is so easy for me to say I am trusting in God completely now but I still have my own plans for my life. God is telling me to throw those plans away and to grab his hand. That is what I will do and with God, there is no room for doubt.
