Today...

So I was persuaded to get a blog... and so here I am. I'm not sure what this will be like, but hopefully I will keep up. Today might be rather long because I feel like I'm catching up...

I got my first support check... Raising support has been so scary the past couple of years, but God has just given me this confidence that, well, I can't describe. I know that it's not about the money, I mean that's NOT what my confidence is in at all; it's in the Lord and it's about trusting Him with ALL.

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrew 11:1

It's so cool to grow from trusting in the Lord. You know, like REALLY TRUSTING. And it's crazy how much you ENJOY Christ in, well everything, but even something like support raising. He's just soo good.

The support raising is for this summer's Beach Project with Campus Outreach (CO). In a NUTSHELL: Summer training program for college students to learn about and grow in their faith. I'm going to help lead the project this summer with 5 other students and the staff of CO. I can't even imagine really what it will be like... It's weird becuase i've been to 2 other projects, but they were both VERY DIFFERENT experiences. Anyway, I'm excited to pour into the students, specifically the girls. The Lord has and continues to teach me soooo much. My prayer is that the He would use me in whatever way to in turn teach them.

Last night at the Summer Beach Project (SBP) leaders' retreat, the Lord BLESSED me with such sweet words from a sister. It was so cool b/c although it was a complement to me, it was not ABOUT me... it was/is ABOUT HIM. I started to become embarrased and then proud, but then the verse hit me:

"All flesh is like grass, and all it's glory like the the flowrer of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls off..." 1 Peter 1:24

and that's when the Lord BLESSED me b/c it is HIS glory and not mine.

How greatly am I loved...
