I've decided New Orleans is where God wants me to serve Him this summer from Friday July 6th - Sunday July 15th. I'm excited to be stretched completely out of my comfort zone through this trip. I know to expect the unexpected this summer. I will keep you updated on the details as I receive them. Thanks for your prayers.
Please pray:
1. For my team to bond together
2. For those who have been hit by Katrina
3. For God to be glorified in and through us and to draw us closer to Himself through this experience
:o)!

New Orleans/Russia
I'm prayerfully considering going to New Orleans with the EPIC young adult group from my church from Friday July 6th - Sunday July 15th. Would you join me in prayer in regards to my involvement? I need to know by Sunday, Feb 25th.
Yesterday, I had the huge blessing of spending the afternoon with Rick. He's the missionary that I went to Russia to minister to the Russian teens. Each winter Rick, comes back to the States. It's been a huge blessing to keep in touch with him. Many of the teens that I spoke with and encouraged in their walk with God are spending daily time reading and applying God's living Word to their lives. I'm am grateful that God used me in this way to further His kingdom. He's doing some amazing things in Russia. I know that I will go back sometime soon, Lord willing, for a summer.
I desire to combine my passion for youth ministry, counseling and missions. I can see that God has me where I am for a reason and I am being used by Him here in the States. I'm learning the skills that I need to be more effective in developing relationships.
My prayer is that each moment I am continuing to be used by Him and molded more into His image.

"Be still"
This week has been crazy busy. I've been running from one good thing to the other all week and I'm tired....
Please pray that I can "be still and know He is God" this weekend especially. I'm praying for somewhat of a "retreat" this weekend. My only plans for the weekend include work on Friday and then spending some time at my adopted second family's home Saturday night. (Can we adopt a family?!? because if we can I've done it :o).
