The start of a new year!

     The past three weeks have been very restorative. I have had a chance to sit  and rest with my creator, to dance with Him, to run with Him, to laugh with Him, to be so very blessed by Him.  I fall more in love with God every day. It's sort of like a whirlwind romance. Needless to say, it has been a really sweet break.
     Tomorrow I go back to finish off my internship with the Uturn youth group. Next fall, I will be transferring to Life Pacific in San Dimas to finish off my degree and seek a job in full-time ministry. I am not sure what it will look like yet, but I know it will be good! God has already done so many amazing things in my heart, and in the heart of our kids. He is teaching me how to love them, and lead them into a loving relationship with Jesus.  He is teaching me how to be a pastor, a servant, a leader and a friend. I am blessed to be here. It is awesome watching the kids grow, watching them want to know God more. 
    Knowing that I will be leaving this summer leaves a sadness in my heart. But it also gives me a drive to accomplish a lot of things these next four months. I am not going to simply "sail" through the rest of my internship. I am going to grab a hold of the Lord and let Him take me full force, to finish the work that He has begun. At the beginning of this year, I made a list of the things I want to do in my internship before I leave. I am going to share it with you so you can be praying for and with me.


1. Start small groups/ a bible study and leave it with people to lead it.
2. Revive and nurture the Student Leadership Team
3. Speak on the Holy Spirit
4. Worship Night
5. Do an outreach with some students
6. Have another student testimony
7. Repaint the Uturn arcade sign!
8. Get A's in all of my classes ;)
9. Make a video of student testimonies
10. Leave knowing I accomplished everything the Lord set out for me.


Please be praying with me!
On another note, thank you to everyone who has supported me during this internship! I still need to raise about 1,500 to pay for the program, and I know that God is so faithful to provide! I have been doing Photoshoots to pay for my internship, and if you know of anyone who would be interested in booking a session, please contact me! Otherwise, donations and support are available through the "Help" link above. Blessings! I will keep everyone updated on what God is doing these next few months.
