One being I am going to take up writing in my blog again. I miss it and I have more than enough time to keep it updated. So alas, here goes my first attempt to keep this thing updated.
A lot has happened in my life since I last posted, but the most exciting thing is that I am spending my summer in Africa!! I will be spending two months (May 29-July 29) in the country of Swaziland which is near South Africa. I am super excited! God brought together all the details of the trip so perfectly-now I am just praying for support. I need to raise $5,000 which is a daunting number, but God is good and I am learning to pray hard and trust Him more. While in Swaziland I will be working with several orphanages, sharing Christ through Bible school and drama ministry, doing HIV/AIDS education, and getting to know the people of Swaziland on a personal level. This is perhaps what I am most excited about. I am going with a group called Adventures in Missions and with a team of people I have never met. I know God is going to stretch and use me in amazing ways..now if only May 29th would get here.
That is the biggest news and I will be periodically updating you on my progress. If you wish, you may check out this blog http://09sw0529rl2.myadventures.org/ It is the blog for my trip/team. We will be updating it periodically until we go and then will keep it updated while we are gone so you can keep track of what we are doing and how the trip is going.
The rest I will write about in a later post. Until then-Happy New Year!
