This is not a reflection of my coffee preference.  

Coffee.  Coffee.  Coffee.

Sleep deprived and spiritually drained the Lord is  teaching me who I am in Him, and how being off my guard makes it easy for my flesh to show itself.  At camp this past week we had what we call a clopening, basically we close a week of camp and clean the camp then in the same day we open the next camp.  It was tough to say the least.  I believe I only slept 9 hours total over a 4 day span.  It is through the times when we are being stretched that we learn the most about how our flesh is weak, and I was stretched a lot over this past week.  Thus, I have had a lot of places in my life that could use a little work revealed to me lately.  God has continued to confirm this upcoming ministry experience with me almost on a daily basis.  It is so awesome that He is, because I need that support and confirmation.  He is beginning to show me places in my life that could cause issues when I am on the race, and living life with the  same people every single day.  This is every good day, every tough day, every completely horrible day that I might have during the eleven months I will be on the mission field.  It is awesome that even now I can see how God is preparing me and my heart for this adventure he is giving me.  He is so good to us!

Prayer requests:  Continued strength, in sharing the gospel with the students in my Bible study.  For my rest that I receive to be multiplied.
