23 days!

That is the countdown until I leave for Kenya. I cannot believe that it is now summer, and before I know it we will be leaving. It has been incredible to see how God has been preparing my heart for this trip. This week I have learned a lot about God's intimacy and love. When we ask for more of God, he will not short change us. He longs to draw us closer into his presence. Looking back on my sophomore year, I see that theme. While this past school year was definitely the hardest spiritually and emotionally for me, God never once failed to meet me. While it wasn't always in my timing or the way I wanted it to happen, waiting on the Lord was a way in which he was drawing me into deeper intimacy with him. My last night in Nashville was a powerful testimony to God's presence and faithfulness in my life. After having several girls pray over me, I experienced freedom from bondage in ways I have never experienced before. I am still in shock at the way God moved in my life, even if I couldn't really see it until the very end. My prayer for this week as I prepare for Kenya would be that God would teach me how to love him, and be with him alone. Please continue to pray for people to come along side me in prayer and financial support. I am currently at $3700, so $1000 more is still needed.

Blessings!
