D-Day!

Well technically...it is not really D-day because I am not conquering any beaches in WWII buy ya know...
Its finally arrived! Today is the day that I leave to begin my summer adventure! It is a bit nerve-wracking because I have absolutely no idea what to expect. The good news is I will be learning new things, new experiences and meeting tons of new people!
As exciting as it is, I feel totally unprepared for the summer...it is always that way isn't it...you have big plans set up and then when the day arrives you want to turn the clock back two months to have more time to prepare. But just when I start to stress, I am reminded who is in control of my life. God has called me to serve Him in this place this summer and so ultimately he will prepare me...in fact He has already gone before me preparing the way and guiding me. This summer will be an awesome opportunity to love on children and their families and share the love of Christ with them. It will be a summer of dying to myself so that Christ and only Christ is glorified.
To my friends and fellow prayer warriors, I ask that you will pray for my team and I. Pray that we will trust in God in each situation we face. Pray that we will not kill each other ;) and that we will all get along and form deep friendships. Pray that we will do nothing for our own gain, only for his glory. And finally I ask that you pray for us to be like window panes....Clear of our own selves and selfish desires so that Christ can shine through us in every thing we do.

Au revoir!
