Its July??!!!!

I hope you all are having a great summer. I've been living out of a suitcase....literally! It seems summer is flying by and my departure day will be here all too soon. Though I am very excited about this next step in following God's will for my life, I'll admit I'm a bit nervous too!

A couple of very dear and precious friends I was reunited with at SOAR 2010!

SOAR 2010 was this past week and I was able to attend with the youth from my home church, Bethel in Fulton, MS. It was an amazing week and kind of surreal as I stood at the missions table before and after every session as the newly elected BMAA Missionary selling the awesome tees that Rebekah designed. The theme for SOAR this year was "Disciple" and how we have to let go of our nets and follow Him.
As I begin the letting go process I wanted to give you a few prayer requests:
* my family...lift them up whenever you think about them, though they could not be anymore supportive, its still a huge adjustment.
* my church family
* the hearts of those I will be going to minister to
* my physical health and energy level as I try to finish up all that needs doing
* the other missionaries that will be leaving soon, as well
* that God will provide financially for every need that arises (and He is already blessing and proving Hisself faithful in big ways here!)
* for me to remain focused on my calling and God would provide the grace and strength for each new day
* for the boxes of my things being shipped over to arrive safely and all together! :)
* for God to just pour down mercy on those days I feel completely overwhelmed by it all.

Thank you so much for supporting me as I follow God's plan for my life. I do not know what all He has in store, what blessings or trials may await, but I do know that He is already there. He's holding every piece of the puzzle of my life's journey and I trust Him.
He loved. He came. He served. He died. He rose again. He reigns.
I must go. I must tell. I must love.
This is my reasonable service.
