I know it's been a looooong time since I have updated the wonderful blog. Since the last blog, I have graduated from college. Yes! I did not get the Passion internship, however I did get an internship with the Missouri Baptist Convention working in youth ministry. I get to do life with some of the most amazing people on the planet. We did Super Summer (youth camp) at the beginning of the summer. It was so great. The Lord brought me to a place where I was angry, crazy enough. We talked alot about Isaiah 6 at camp and I got so mad at the Lord. I felt like I had been saying "Here am I send me!" for about 4 years now and He wasn't telling me what to do. It was a hard realization that I can't operate on my time. I HAVE to operate on His time. God has also taught me alot about prayer and restoration and hating sin and wanting it out of my life forever. All in all, it's been so wonderful. I have some of the coolest new brothers and sisters- Joe, Colin, Ryan, Chelsea, and Abby and of course Mom and Dad (Angela and Jeff) and Papa (Matt) and Julie! And of course little baby bro Micah! We're one big family and these people will always be a part of my life. This coming week we're going to Kirksville to hang out with Gene Austin and his wife and then it's on to St. Louis for The Project. I'm pretty pumped!
Many people keep asking me what I'm doing after this and I have no clue. Some days that's okay, other days I'm not okay with not knowing and it's hard. I do know that the Lord wants me to figure out who I am in Him before He tells me what I'm going to do. I think this is something huge that I have to conquer....feel free to pray for me about that.
Side note: my BFF Mallory is in South Africa for about another month, please pray for her and the ministry that's going on there. Also, I spent last summer in Senegal, West Africa and there are semester missionaries there right now that need prayer for their ministry as well.
Well, I think that about sums up everything, hopefully I'll update again soon. Love, love!
