God is GOOD!

I just wanted to give everyone a little update. It has been- and still is- such a blessing to actively watch the Lord provide. 1 Thessalonians 5:34 "He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it." has been my theme verse for the past few months of this journey. The Lord is faithful and is doing abundantly more than i could ever ask or think (Ephesian 3:20). I have $1200 and only $8800 left to go! I am so close to buying my plane ticket! Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

I have finally started packing. I am so sad to leave this life i have loved for the past 2 years. It is such a bittersweet time. I know i am going to enjoy the next month with my family. I haven't been home in a long time and knowing I only have a short time... there i must cherish every moment!!!

Thanks again everyone!

hello all...

Wow, this past week has been amazing. I was able to take off work and spend it with my church, as there were here for camp. The teens were challenged and many made decisions for Christ! But not only was the Lord working in the hearts and lives of the students, but the youth leaders as well. It was such a blessing to hear people open up and be real about what is going on in their life. They left early this morning and now I feel like I need another vacation. :]

School is going well. I am now down to 4 classes. My 90 hours are almost up for my student observation. Graduation is getting closer and closer- August 20th! Work is also going well... getting a little crazy with trying to find a replacement, and working ahead so that things can be ready for groups once I leave.

I Have 2 more weeks here in New York before i head back to NC to prepare for my trip. I should hopefully be in Hungary by August 30th! My support is coming in. My sister has recently made a group on Facebook to spread the word. It has been such a blessing to hear of people giving to my trip and I don't even know them. The Lord is a work and I have front row seats! I have 720 dollars so far, now working on the 9280 remaining. Thank you all for your prayers!

I am so blessed and I never want to take that for granted!
