Hi mom! My only "follower." She is so supportive. My dad just created a Twitter account so he could follow me on that "form of technology," as he would say. Actually, if I'm being completely honest, I was the one who created a Twitter account for my dad. As far as it goes, I am his only follower. He loves it!
You see, DuVal's have always been a) planners, b) curious, and c) communicators. (Maybe that's why i found it so natural to major in Communications.) After every visit with my Grandma DuVal, she says, "Keep me updated, now. I want to know everything." I'm rooted in it y'all.
So...
My plan? LONDON! I've already been given a preliminary calendar-my kind of trip.
Am I curious? I went to Europe with my family when i was ten. Memories: Eating only a turkey baguette in Paris because my ten-year-old picky self didn't want anything else, my sister getting pick-pocketed, undesirable train station smells, Harrods, and trying to go to all the places Mary-Kate and Ashley filmed their movie, "Winning London." Obviously, significant things here. All this to say, I am VERY curious! I know that this trip will bring so many significant, wonderful, and memorable experiences. I'm at least going to eat a crepe while in Paris. Duh.
How will I communicate? HERE! I will be updating this blog as much as i can with my experiences, stories, and most importantly, how i have seen "the Light."
Why call my blog "Following the Light," you ask? John 14:6 says, "I am the way, the truth, and the light." I have such a desire to meet and explore the hearts of people all across the world. Essentially, I don't know where i am going, but i know exactly who i am following. His name is Jesus and he is the Light! In Matthew 4:18-22, Jesus saw Peter and Andrew fishing in the lake. Jesus said, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” Peter and Andrew left their nets and followed him.
As i travel throughout Europe this summer and live my life, I plan to take advantage of every moment. I am dropping my net and following Jesus to fish for people. The question is...
Who's goin' fishin' with me?!
I will be following along to see what God has in store for you in London. Much love comes to you from this mother's heart!
ReplyDeleteI remember that trip to Europe when you were young and I remember you being obsessed with Mary Kate and Ashley and their adventures with making the guards laugh and all! :)
