I’ve been at the Honor Academy for over 2 weeks now. The Lord has been teaching me so much about what it means to endure, but before I go into that I’ll give my Nana and other Mommy supporters an update. There’s no way to even begin to write about everything! But here are some of the highlights:
-It has been such a cool opportunity to get to know people while I’ve been here. Everyone is at different places and came out of different backgrounds, but we all get to grow together this year. There are about 270 interns in my class so I’ve definitely not met them all… yet. It’s funny to see them all up at 6 am working out corporately. Yay discipline! Boo soreness! I have 9 sisters in my Core and 4 of those are my roommates. They’re such a blessing! I bought a box fan today because our room is a little too warm for comfort. ;)
-I LOVE my ministry placement! I get to be a Global Expeditions encouragement representative. This basically means that I get to call teenagers that have already been accepted to go on a missions trip and encourage them, help them think of fundraising ideas, and pray for them. HOW COOL IS THAT?! They posted the new trips up on www.globalexpeditions.com this week. I WANT TO GO EVERYWHERE! But I need to pray and ask the Lord where He wants me to go this next summer. The exciting thing is that I will be working about 31 hours a week directly mobilizing young missionaries to change the world! The Lord is TOO faithful to me!
-One of my friends from my Uganda trip last year is in my core and the other one lives in the same dorm. It’s has been really great to see them again.
-I LOVE my new local church! It was an accident that my friends Hayley, Andrew, Ben, and I went last week because we missed the shuttle to the church we were originally planning on trying out. I KNOW it was the Lord! It already feels like home and the presence of the Lord fills that place. We got to go again today. Oh yeah! Grace Point FOR THE WIN!
-Hmmmm…. Other than that. The food isn't that bad... we even get pop tarts with breakfast sometimes! #BESTDAYEVERI’ve lost my voice a few times. My friend Sola makes me laugh everyday! #UllllltimateSwagger I really love life. But it has definitely been hard some days. Abiding in my Creator has been a must. I'm trying to continually remind myself to not get so caught up in the Honor Academy's standards that I forget why I'm here: TO SEEK GOD. I love the 24/7 prayer room that they have on campus. It's my home away from home. :)
Oh yeah! Send me mail! So far Kasey has y'all beat!
That’s all for an update ladies and gentlemen. Love you ALL!
Thank you for your continual prayer and support.
"The LORD bless you, and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance on you,
And give you peace."
And give you peace."
Numbers 6:24-26
