The Adventures of Darcey & Watson

Along with the new year of 2014, my role at GFA is also slowly shifting to something a bit more in my area of enjoyment. I am being trained to help our Web Designer! With that training comes Photoshop and hours of watching videos on Tree House. I’m actually enjoying this so much that I find myself not moving for over an hour causing my legs to go numb and people being able to sneak up on me easier. In high school, I actually was leaning toward becoming a Graphic Designer and a missionary. Meaning this new role is right up my alley (Pun intended)! I am still working with Social Media marketing (for GFA and the new documentary coming out in March, Veil of Tears), Emails, web writing, and other various projects, but once our new School of Discipleship student arrives, I will be doing less Social Media and more web design and Photo of the Day. I’m so excited!!

Since I’m not quite a full fledged web designer yet, I am spending time practicing in Photoshop CS6 and creating random graphics as well as editing random pictures. Here’s one of my graphic images. Let me know what you think it means in the comments below!

It’s one of those days where I am glad the Lord has me serving Him at Gospel for Asia, but I just want to be home with my Mommy and brother. To snuggle on the couch with Mommy and talk in song till our voices are hoarse, then dance to the ending credit song of a favorite movie. Make some pancakes with chocolate chips in the shape of Mickey Mouse and hearts. To put together a puzzle while listening to Linkin Park with my brother playing a game on the computer in the same room. Spend time with my bro and teach him how to draw anime. To jump on the trampoline with my bro and then climb some trees, then lay on the floor looking at the ceiling and just talk.

I miss all those memories, and it’s times like these where I just sit here and remember all those good times and long for the closeness of a simple hug and whisper of “I love you”. I love my family so much, and it’s so hard to be away from them sometimes. However, it’s memories like these that remind me of what many thousands of families in Asia don’t have and why I am serving the Lord here at Gospel for Asia where everyday we see the light of Jesus shine through our brothers and sisters on the field. Ever reaching out in love to those who have no hope left and never knew just how much worth they have in Christ.

Praise the Lord for my childhood, for my family, and for the opportunity I have to love others in Jesus’ name.
