It's almost here...

Well, I leave for New York tomorrow...I leave for New York tomorrow. I've spent the last week reminding myself everyday and it's still a little hard to believe.

I'm kind of freaking out a little bit, actually.

When I visited CSM over Spring Break I got a little bit of an idea of what it is they do, but one day is hardly enough to cover it all. So I pretty much feel like I'm going into this thing somewhat blindly...and I don't do blindly. I like to have a plan and know all the details, but I don't really have a whole lot of that this time...and thus the freak out. I keep having to remind myself that God is in control and if He let me know all the details of this summer then I probably wouldn't go.

So I need some prayer...first that I will be open to whatever it is God has planned for me and that His love will show through me to the people I come in contact with and that my faith will grow...secondly for patience and love when it just doesn't seem like I have any left...thridly (is that a word?) for the CSM team that we will just bond and come together to do God's work this summer...lastly that God will prepare the hearts of the people we will meet this summer, whether it's that they come to know Him or we're just a seed planter...and then prayer for all the little things in between

I know it's going to be tough and there's going to be spiritual warfare and days that I just don't want to do it anymore, but I know also that it's going to be an awesome summer and so in the midst of the freak out I'm still excited to see what God has in store...

So here I go...I'll do my best to keep people updated through the blog and return emails if you email me...also my friend Jody is in Nashville with CSM so if you feel so inclined here's her blog http://seekingrecklessabandon.wordpress.com/ ...so until next time, when I'll in fact be in New York, I love you all!
