Excited

Hey Everyone,
I thought i'd try making a blog for all of you to follow rather than boring old-fashioned email updates :P

I have already paid for Room and Board, and today i bought my plane ticket! God is so awesome-i have known that this was God's plan for the next step in my life, but it still feels so cool when He acts on it, providing everything i need for the trip. Today i also got a free subscription to learn Hindi on itunes :)

My greatest concern this summer has been preparing spiritually for India. I know that although physically and mentally i will probably be pushed to my limits, I will be pushed spiritually even more. I will be in a place for once where i may not see even one fellow believer all day. Everything i do is a reflection of what i believe; for some around me it may be the only reflection of christianity they see in their life! I need to be prepared, so that when someone asks me the reason for my peace, i can tell them. And above all, i am learning to trust God more than i ever have. He can do amazing things-more than i could ever imagine.

Thank you all so much for your support-whether financially or by prayer, or encouraging me when you didn't even realize that i needed some-i am incredibly grateful. I have been both enlightened and humbled, simply in the preparation for India...I can't imagine what God is going to teach me once i actually get there! :) And by having a hand in this awesome thing that God is doing, God sees you as being there with me. We are all unified in our Christ, one body. Working to share the boundless love of God with people who have never experienced this kind before. Wow! Can you imagine?! Many of these street children have been ignored and treated like they were worthless their whole lives, and I cannot wait for them to find out that someone loves them so much that He'd die for them. We all are blessed enough to see it :)
