Where I Stand

Hello friends!

Quick update: I'm done with school for the semester! Yay God! And bless the Lord I passed all my classes and have at GPA of 3.8! Glory to God! I don't know how that happened, but it was the Lord =D Now if only I can retain all that information for the next year and come back to school and keep that GPA where it is now ;)

This summer I'm helping lead a women's Bible study with a friend from school and we've seen a pretty good group of women show up. I'm really excited about this final opportunity for ministry in the States before I leave again. We're reading the book Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, which is highly recommend to anyone, but especially to women. It's a book that follows the biblical book of Hosea. It's about a prostitute named Angel who marries a godly man and how she learns what love is, and receives Christ as her saviour, but the trials she goes through to realize that by Christ's redeeming love she is worth loving. Very, very good book. So I'm looking forward to hanging out with these women and sharing together what God's love in our lives means and how he has continually bought us out of bondage and heals our wounds and never gives up on us! Yay God!

Lastly, but certainly not at all least, I'm raising support for my trip to Serbia for the next year. I'm very excited about this time of challenge and really, well, hardship. It's no easy thing to ask people to give you money, however wonderful the cause, no matter how thrilling it is for you. I've had the privilege to meet with a few people in the last two weeks, and have really enjoyed sharing about where God is sending me and what he's doing in Serbia now. But, man, it's hard to pick up the phone to call people, not gonna lie. I think right now I'm at a whole 1% of my goal for the whole trip, Praise the Lord! I'm started! So I would really appreciate your prayers over the summer as I trust God to provide a team of people to finance my trip, as well as to pray for me through it. If you are interested in what I'm doing, please let me know. I would love to share with you about it, and I don't want to overlook anyone who might want to be a part of the ministry in Serbia. Thank you very much for your care and prayers during this season of my life =D
