Almost There

WOW
so it's really close to my trip. I have been doing a good bit of preparing as far as prayer etc, however, yesterday I got the book Radical by David Platt. I started today and am halfway through, and planning on finishing tonight. I have also been following his podcasts which are also pretty eye opening and equipping. Platt's words are reminding me so much of that eager hunger for God. This book is amazing so far, and I am positive that this is the place i need to be this summer. God is reawakening me and my passion, preparing me for the work ahead, and I am soooo ready to get to it. One more day! May God receive the glory!

Sickness

Hello All!
Well this is my first post, and as most of you all know I have been assigned to be a summer missionary in Daniels, WV this summer with the North American Mission Board. I am really excited to see what God has planned. I know it will be great! The church there is called Glade Community Church under the direction of Gene Johnson. Please be praying for his ministry and that I will be of help to get children and especially youth involved.
I went back to Troy this Monday after helping with the annual water festival and then got super sick with some kind of virus. Bleh what a great way to spend the last trip to my "second" home. I hope to be back on my feet soon.
I'm really nervous about my trip as far as being overwhelmed with this amazing task. Over the last few semesters, things in my life have really changed. My basic beliefs have been challenged and I know more than ever that carrying God's message is my task in life. I just need to know how to equip myself and I know God will help me with that!
Please pray for the church and other summer missionaries. Also pray for the wellness of me and everyone else suffering through this gross virus. Lastly pray that I will gain the comfort and confidence I need to be myself this summer.
