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.

Knowing and trying to figure out God's will are hard, so I'll definitely pray for that - I feel a similar dilemma as there are various ministry paths for me to consider (we talked a bit Tuesday) anyway I'm sure the path will be clear or something like it
and thanks for the comment
