Living in Light of eternity :)

Here we go again. The day before I leave for Kenya, Africa :) I am so excited to see what God is going to do. He has worked in my life leading up to this point in amazing ways. I never really understood when people would say that everything is part of God’s plan but now heading out into another world I can see that every little detail God had and still has in his hands. Everything I have done and learned up to this point in my life is going to allow me to do great things for the Lord. If it was not for God’s hand in my life I would not be in the place I am today. I am so thankful that God chose me to be His child and that I can serve Him to further the kingdom of God. I want to always be living in Light of Eternity. I will be traveling with a friend whose name is Karissa Young. I am so thankful that God brought her into my life and she has been a great friend to me and I am beyond excited to travel with her.  I am so thrilled to head out and allow God to use me in whatever way He wants. I have a few specific prayer request:  

1. I will be taking my 1^st malaria pill today and I would just ask that you would pray that I will not experience any of the major side effects with it.  ( I will be taking one pill every day while I am there and 7 days after I return)
2. Karissa and I will have the opportunity to go into the public schools and share our testimonies. We might possibly be speaking to 1800 children at one point. This is a little nerve racking because if you know me I am not a fan of speaking in front of people. But I know that God has prepared me for this and I know that He will be with me the whole time :) 
3. We will be running a 5 day VBS the first week we are there (May 21-25). Pray we will be able to do this well and that the kids will enjoy it. (50-60 kids with only 2 leaders)

We are so committed to honoring God and we are ready to go and serve in Webuye, Kenya for God’s glory. Please be praying as we will be in a completely new place and culture. God is at work and I am honored to be able to be a part of His work. 

TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

45 days :)

Only 45 short days till I am on a plane to Kenya, Africa! I am beyond excited to see how God is going to work in my life and how He is going to use me on this trip.
I have been learning so much and so ready to get on that plane and head over there to put to practice the things I am learning here at BBC. Only about 5 more weeks and i will be officially done with my Junior year of college. Unbelievable. I did not even think I was going to make through my freshman year and here I am now only 2 semesters away from graduation. Praise the Lord. He has been my strength and guide through this college journey and I have learned so much through the highs and lows. 


I don't know if I mentioned this before but my friend, Karissa Young is also going to be going on this trip as well. God has been providing for both of us in amazing ways and we are both excited to learn, grow, and serve. 


*A quick prayer request: 


- I am in charge of the Children's music play program at Summit Baptist Bible Church and I LOVE it. Just please be in prayer as its coming close to the performance date and things are going to start getting crazy:) 



Ephesians 6:10-11 has been a great encouragement to me and I am working on putting on the full armor of God so that I will be able to be the most effective I can be while I am in Kenya for 17 days! I want to be courageously serving the Lord everywhere I am and trusting Him in every area of my life.  


Thank you all for your support and encouragement! 


To God Be The Glory.
