Support trip!!

I'm in Spartanburg, South Carolina right now. This is the place where I have spent the last four years of my life, going to College. I have grown to love this place, and it's quiet town feel. I have missed the people here. It's different though coming back in the summer for just a short time. I am here for a couple of reasons, one is to visit my Grandparents for a few days, and the second is to try to make some more connections and work on support raising for my internship in the Fall.

God has been doing some pretty amazing stuff in my life this summer through all of this support raising process and through my recent trip to S. Korea!! I can't even begin to describe all that He is doing, I do not understand all of it yet. He has begun a healing process in my life as I have begun to walk down the road of completely trusting Him with who I am and with my dreams and life. Some days it is almost to much, someone along the way forgot to tell me that refining by the fire hurts this much. But it is sooo worth every tear and every moment of vulnerability and pain. All along the way I have seen his glory, seen his grace and his love in ever increasing measures. It is a joy and a better understanding of who He is and who He has created me to be that I would not trade for anything. Not even for an easier road.

He has been showing me a lot of this as I traveled in the car to get to Spartanburg and as I have been here. If you read this, would you please pray with me that God continues to humble my heart, make me like a child so I can trust him more, and continue the healing of my heart. Please also pray that he would work in miraculous ways and bring in the rest of my support by August 22nd. I know this is where he wants me for this next year, and I am trusting that he will get me there or show me another path.

It never ceases to amaze me how much God truly loves me and desires to fill my every dream! He knows better than I ever could just what I need each and every moment of the day!

I'm Back... and much has changed.
So I haven't written on this blog in over a year really. A lot has happened in that time. A lot has changed in my life. For a while I actually forgot my password to this blog so I couldn't do anything with it. You may notice that I have changed the look a little. It is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts for me.
I have graduated from college finally and currently have no plans to do any further schooling, at least not for this next year. I have started the process of joining staff with Campus Crusade for Christ and will be doing an internship for this next year at their Headquarters here in Orlando. I am excited about this opportunity but a little scared of all the new things to come. This summer I have started raising my support for this internship and taken a huge trip. I was blessed by God with the amazing chance to travel with my parents to South Korea for a Historic Global Student Missions conference put on by CCC. CM2007!!! This conference and the experiences I was able to have there while serving with 150 international volunteers to help work the conference have changed and shaped my perspective on what the Lord is doing around the world! We live in an exciting time, so much more has been accomplished for the gospel in my generation than all those coming before. The fields are truly ripe for harvest and Jesus is calling forth his laborers to send out into the world. And I am raising my hand saying, "Send me Lord, Here am I." But what this will look like in my life, and where this will take me has yet to be seen. It is a journey that will bring more change, more adventure.
God has continued to keep me single for now. There are days when this is a struggle that causes me to run more to Him. There are other days though when I know his love more than ever and feel satisfied with whatever he has for me. It is still the desire of my heart and my prayer to Him that he, in his infinite timing and wisdom, would bring a man into my life. I strongly desire to be married one day and have a family. But most importantly I want to be able to serve in ministry who ever God has for me. Until that time comes though I need to learn ever more how to be satisfied with him alone and how to serve him well in my single days! Father I pray that I would be an instrument, a tool, in your hands, a willing servant, no matter where you have me or what you have me doing!
Please pray with me also that as I develop my team of ministry partners, both prayer and financial partners, that I would have a right perspective and that I would always trust God to provide what sometimes seems so impossible! He is more than I could ever dream for and all that my Heart and life truly desires and he has called me to share Him with those around me, those who do not know Him! How truly blessed am I.
Thank you for reading this, and may God truly touch your life as well and fill you with His love. As my new friend Tae puts it "I hope you live by faith every single day/// walk with his Promise… may His peace and wisdom be with You!!"
