tomorrrrrow!!

Ladies and gentlemen...in less than 24 hours, I will be in my new home in San Diego! :)

I am really getting excited to leave! I can't wait to see what this summer will entail and how God will use me. I can't wait to get to the point where I am share my faith with others comfortable and effectively :) I'm also SUPER pumped to meet the other 119 students who I will share this experience with and become so close with...YAY!

All this packing business is crazy! Too much stuff to bring in too little of room. I was exhausted after the seven loads of laundry I did, and NOW I have to stuff it all into two suitcases! Shorts, shoes, shirts, dresses, jeans, swimsuit, towel, toiletries, AND bedding...sheesh!

I ask that you all be praying about my job situation once I arrive. The staff has already been there for two weeks setting things up for our arrival. In doing so, they did some job searching for us and found a few places that were hiring. Please be praying that I will be able to find a job, a means of getting there (bike, bus, trolley), and that it will meet my financial needs for the summer.

Since I last posted about my support status, I have received two more checks totaling in $75! So as of now, I am only $845 away! God is just TOO good! :)

Well friends, I ought to get back to this packing nonsense. Next time you'll here from me, I'll be in sunny San Diego! :)

Just 10 More Days!

Ahh! I'm so excited!!

Here's a few little updates...

As of today (May 22nd), I have reached $2,065...God is so good! I remember when I received my first $25 and I thought I would never get this far, and now look! Once again, God showed off His power and control in the situation.

However, $920 is still needed by June 30th for the trip to be completely paid for. I ask that you please pray about whether God wants you to give to this cause. Checks can still be sent to my home address, or to my address in California - which brings me to my next topic!

You can write me this summer! :) I love getting mail and encouraging letters from friends and family! My address is:

Some other exciting news...

I received a phone call a few days ago from my discipler for the summer! This was SUPER exciting for me! My discipler, Emily Schlichting, is from Wisconsin and attends Wisconsin Green Bay College. We talked on the phone for a little bit and discussed some concerns, questions, and prayer requests. I'm so excited to finally meet her! I'm looking forward to the relationship I'm going to have with her and the other girls in our group :)

Well, my brother and sister in law are over, so I should go mingle :)

Talk to you soon!

Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone :)

I thought I would start a blog to keep you all informed on what I'm doing and how I'm doing this summer. I'll let you all know how you can be praying for us and how God's been using us out in California. 

I'm still getting used to this "blogging" thing so bear with me as it picks up! :)
