Here we are… I have been awake way too many hours for this day already. I am currently sitting in atlanta… It is crazy to think about the last 48 hours. Friday I graduated woo hoo… Saturday my body shut down on me… I think all my adrenaline ran out and all the emotions caught up to me. I rested all day with my family that was in town… it was very nice.
I spent some of the day trying to figure out how in the world I was going to get everything I needed for camp in my bag. The bag looks big when you buy it at the store but as you start to pack it it becomes smaller and smaller. I stayed up late talking with my momma… so nice, such a sweet time, late night snuggle talks with your mother, even when you are 22 years old.
Woke up at 430 am to catch a flight to Atlanta. Today I meet the P Squad. The group of people that I will be traveling the world with for the next 11 months of my life. They have been at camp since last night. I might admit that I am a bit anxious about meeting everyone and having such an awkward entrance, coming a day late… I stayed in austin for graduation.
Luckily another recent UT grad, Amanda is on the same route as me… we are sitting in the airport now waiting to be picked up!!! I am so excited!!!
I wanted to update everyone about where I am at with things.
Financially… I have gotten the support I needed to buy all of my supplies. The one thing I am lacking is money for a flight for send off July 1st. I will need to leave texas and meet the rest of the team for our flight to haiti. As far as support goes I still need $9,900. Please pray with me this week that the money can pour in. I know that there are many people who have considered giving or mean to give and just haven’t gotten around to it. I am peaceful about it, a large amount faces me but I am confident that it will come. Please pray that people give generously… I know that it is a tough investment to make for some, especially when you are not able to see the fruits of your investment right away… but I can rest in the faith, confidence and hope I have in our Jesus Christ, our LORD … that he will in fact use our team to do AMAZING things for His Kingdom… in which I believe it is ALL worth every dollar I have.
Also pray that i can have open eyes, ears and an open heart as I enter into this next season of my life. I expect God to show up… he does everyday… but I really want to be open to the things that He is teaching me, the areas He is growing me and the opportunities for ministry that He places in front of me.
Pray that I can be led by the Spirit with my teammates…. that our team can be unified quickly and that we can share in the joy that the Lord provides… this is all so exciting! I just can not believe this day is here!!!!
I will be keeping up with my entires while I am at camp so be expecting multiple blogs on June 1st. Until then….
LOVE YOU, Thank you for your support peoples!
