About Me

My name is Joshua! I am 16 years old, going on 17 in November 2010! I’m not your average junior in high school. I went to East Ascension High School in Gonzales, Louisiana my freshman year in high school then made a drastic change in curriculums. I now attend Gonzales Baptist Academy. I went from a class of 400 to a class of 4, no exaggeration. My parents thought it’d be best that I be put in a school where there were less distractions and more discipline, so they were right. I just began my second year there and may I say, I cannot see myself at any other school in the world. Yes, I lost ALOT of friends when I left EA, but I gained a few good friends at GBA, which is all I need come to find out. I have friends I can talk to without being paranoid about my personal business going around school. The way God worked out these arrangements is amazing. But my goal is not to bore you about my life, but to tell you what my life-long goal is and why! So here it goes:
My goal in life is to fulfill God’s plan for me. I have trusted Him as my Lord and Savior and know without a doubt that one day, I will fall flat on my face before Him and worship Him for eternity in His Kingdom.
Acts 1:8 says, “and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” My ambition in life, is to follow this commandment. I want to travel to places that have never heard the Gospel, even places that it may be illegal. Some tell me I’m crazy for wanting to go places like China, if I don’t go, who will. The job is for Christians to take. If I get held captive, or if I’m tortured, or I am murdered, it won’t all be for nothing; for it will be for the glory of God alone. My goal is not to impress anyone, not my parents, friends, pastor, acquaintances, etc. but to tell people more about Christ that they might be there with me in His Kingdom giving Him all the glory. I have faith that no matter where I go, God will have His hand over me. For over a year, I have been being called to the mission field, and now is the time to begin preparing for that!
When I graduate high school, my hope is to go to LSU and major in biology, then go on to get a degree in oncology. When I have accomplished that, I feel that by then God will have shown me where He wants me to go, whether it be to a different country to do long-term mission, short-term missions, or to stay here in America where God is needed as much as anywhere else!
