I'm on my way!

Amazingness!

Hey guys! Sorry once again for taking so long! This month has been so crazy and hectic, but great! I am so glad I got to see most of you before I'm leaving! Thank all of you so much for you prayers! They have definately been felt, and the outcome has been amazing! The Lord has brought this through, and I now have $3265! It has been so amazing to see how the Lord has provided in a way that I never could have imagined and that I could not have done on my own. But I'm realizing that leaving it in His hands really is the most peaceful thing I can do! So I'm leaving this summer in His hands, to mold me and shape me into the woman He wants me to be and make an impact for Him in student's lives. This summer is going to be one of the most wonderful in my life and I'm sure I'll have many stories to tell! This is going to be life changing! Thanks for making it possible!

Quick update

Hey everyone! It's been a while! I'm graduated! Yay! Things have been really busy lately and I'm still getting stuff together. I now have $2990 in support. I need $410 more, which is exciting! The Lord continues to provide! I hope all of you are doing well! I am on the run, but I wanted to give an update, so here it is! I will write more later!

More updates

So guys, I am really excited! I just got done with my last exam EVER! I am graduating in 4 days! May 10th, here I come! I can't wait! It's been really busy lately. I've gotten a lot of my stuff together, but now I need to figure out how to fit stuff in one suitcase. I also have to go get some clothes from Good Will so that I'll have running-around-and-getting-messy clothes! We'll be hiking and horsbackriding, playing disc golf, and lots of other stuff! I'm also looking forward to the Bible studies as well though and getting to minister to these high school kids! So just a financial support update: I now have $2600 out of $3400! The Lord is really providing through all of you and fast! I have 22 more days! Can you believe it? I am so excited, I can't stop saying it! This is going to be great!

Giving thanks

Okay, so this is the perfect thing for me, because I love to write. I will continue to give you guys updates and perhaps just put down some of my thoughts as well. I am still preparing for summer project. I have so many thank-you letters to write! You guys are all so awesome and I thank the Lord for every one of you! Without your support, this could never have been possible. Not only have you helped me to be able to go to Snowridge, you have been part of a faith-growing experience for me and I hope that this will be a great opportunity to make a difference for Christ's Kingdom! I know that it is not by my strength, but by His grace that I do what I do. I just want all of you to know that no matter how you have contributed, whether by prayer or financial support or both, it is a blessing! Every bit counts and no amount is insignificant! I just want you to know that, because I think often we believe that if we can't offer much, we shouldn't offer it at all. But that is a lie! Even the woman in Luke 21:1-4, Jesus called the greatest of those that gave because she gave so little and yet so much compared to what she had to live on. Remember that! And don't let money discourage you! I am thankful even for your prayers, because they are the true power behind this! Remember that it is the Lord's power that brings all things together, not money. He is orchestrating it and, to me, that is the most comforting thought. Keep that at the forefront of your mind! Thank you all for everything and thank you so much for every bit of contribution you have made! I love you all!

Snowridge explained!

I just wanted to let you know what I've been doing lately. As most of you know, I go to Winthrop and I am part of Campus Crusade there. I got involved there last year and it has been great getting to know people who love the Lord and who are so welcoming. I have learned a lot about what God calls us to as Christians and I have really grown in my faith as well.

This summer I have an amazing opportunity to go with Campus Crusade on a summer project in Westcliffe, Colorado. It will be two months, from May 29 to August 6. I will be working with high school students at a six week camp. We will be ministering to them and spending time with them in addition to the normal camp activities. I will also be recieving guidance in leadership and ministry throughout my time there. I am so excited to learn more about the Lord and where He would have me. It will be a great learning experience because I will be receiving training on how to share my faith, not only in the mission setting, but in my everyday life.

You guys have been here for me and I would so greatly appreciate your prayers most of all on this! I have never raised support before or been on a mission trip so in addition to being excited, I am also nervous and really having to trust in the Lord to provide! I am so thankful for all of you and your prayers! The Lord is already showing me things and I know He will continue to!

In order to make all this possible, I need to develop a team of ministry partners. Please pray for me as I am sending out letters and raising the necessary funds for room and board, transportation, and training materials. If you can help in any way, that would be greatly appreciated. Whatever the Lord leads you to is the right thing, but most of all just be praying, please!

Thank you so much! I'll keep you updated on how the Lord's working it all out and where I am in the process!

My first update

Hey everyone!
This is the beginning of my journey before Snowridge, and hopefully during it! For those of you who do not know, I am raising support to go on a two-month summer project with Campus Crusade to work with high school students at Snowridge camp! I am so excited! I have to raise $3400 and as of right now, I have $2275 thanks to everyone who has given support! Thank you so much! It has been wonderful to see the Lord working through this and He is definately growing my faith through it! At first I was nervous about having to raise support, but He has provided in so many ways! I look forward to letting you all know how things go along the way!
