Ariel Renee' Richardson

Hello All,

First let me say sorry it took so long for me to get on here, but I am finally here.  My name is Ariel Renee' Richardson, and I always spell my whole name out because it looks pretty to me.  I was born and raised in Dallas, Tx where I have my mother *my rock* and a younger brother *my heart* that keep my world going around.  I truly love them and they are among my many support systems.  I have been attending Texas Woman's University for the past two years and let me be the first to say that this was not my school of choice, but as years have passed I have come to see that it was God's plan all along.  My major is nursing and I one day pray that I will become a Neo-Natal Nurse Practitioner.  I have always enjoyed helping people and feel that I will be a blessing in the nursing field.  I have always been a Christian but it wasn't until the summer before my senior year of high school that I was "Souled Out" for him.  I had been through soo much and that's when I really began my relationship with him and it changed my life and others for the better. Then I went to college.. I sort of started not living right.. BUT God, starting 2012 my prayer was for me and him to get back to the relationship we used to have, and that's when I started attending a college ministry and really got back to Him. Thats when I heard about the opportunity to go on a Mission Trip to Africa.  I was sooo excited because I would be about my fathers business and I could travel to another country to live like them for two weeks.  BUT that's when the devil came his hardest, I heard every excuse as to why I shouldn't go but I never lost sight of God's voice, He always reassured me.  It hasn't been a easy road, but I know that He will never leave me nor forsake me.  I am very excited about what Jesus has already done with our team and what is still to come.  I pray that if it's in His will that each one of us will be able to make it.  If it's meant for us to go finances will not be a problem.  I know that He will put those supporters in each one of our lives.  Stepping out on that leap of faith is not easy, but when you are surrounded by people who have the same goals as you, they keep me motivated.  If you have read all the way to here, I just want you to know that I love you and pray that you are blessed by this trip, because by reading this blog you will be going along with us.  && AGAIN I am sooo excited to be following God's will.


Love,


Ariel Renee' Richardson
