Amazing Race

I don't know how many of you have seen the show, "The Amazing Race," but I was just a part of Josiah Venture's Amazing Race. This is a great experience that they do every year to help build the Intern teams and allow them to experience conflict and resolve their problems. This year we started in Vienna, Austria and ended in Malenovice, Czech Republic. Along the way we were in Budapest, Hungry and Bratislava, Slovakia. My team is great! We spent a lot of good quality time with each other during this race. We were not in the lead but in my mind we were the best team! We are all now relaxing before training. This race is so tiring, I am sure that everyone is glad to be done. My flight over was good, I had no problems! I am so excited for this training time and the summer. I will write again next week.

Last Week

Well this is my last week in the States before I leave for Slovakia. I have been spending it meeting with people and trying to tie up loose ends. I am really excited about next week but really nervous at the same time. I am interested to see how God works. Please pray for safe travel and that I will be able to adjust well to being back. Pray also for me as I spend my last couple days with my family, that it would be a blessed time.

Almost Here

Well It is almost here. I have less than two weeks, I am getting very nervous. I have had a great semester and will miss a lot of the people I have worked with at the Vincent Village where I did my Senior Internship. They are a great group of people. I want to give a shout out to them. As I have looked at the summer and thought about things to pray for I have thought of a couple. First I would like prayer as I prepare to leave that I will be able to remember everything. Also That I will really have a blessed last two weeks with my family. Finally I really need prayer as I prepare my heart to serve God. Lately I have been attacked by Satan again, this time he is tempting me with apathy. I have so much to prepare for and this is the time when I most need to be in tune with God. I am really struggling with apathy in everything, it seems easier than being responsible a lot of the time! Pray for Endurance and courage for me. Also pray for those who are still trying to raise support.

Three weeks

Wow it is almost here. I can't believe the time has almost come. It seems like I just returned. Well I am so excited about this upcoming summer and fall and what God has in store. As I am preparing my heart and beginning to prepare a list of things to take, I am reminded of God's provision. When I started fund raising this year I was rather terrified at the thought of raising almost $11,000! God has provided. I have the money I need and am ready to go. This is so amazing and so confirming, but it also reminds me of the other interns taking part in this summers camps. Many of them do not have the money they need and are struggling to figure out where it is coming from. I know God will provide but I am sure they would appreciate your prayer! I have three weeks before I leave, if anyone is interested meeting and talking to me before I leave please call me, (260)-414-7918, and I will try to work it in! I am so excited to move home this weekend before I leave. It will be such a blessing to be with my family before I leave, I am going to miss them a lot!!
