Hey guys!

I just wanted to say that it was awesome being able to see you all this past Saturday and to spend time worshipping God with you!  I will miss you all as I go to Charlotte.  Pray for me that I will hear God's leading and be able to make great steps towards an amazing outreach in the high school and start an amazing youth group just like Reality!  Confesssion:  I'm getting really nervous since everything there is pretty much an unknown.  Please pray for me to find God's grace and peace and pray that I will stay on the rock God has put me on.  Double-mindedness has really caused me some problems in the past months! 

I still have about $350 to raise to be fully supported.  I would appreciate any prayers for that.  Oh yeah, and that someone will come and take over at lease my end of the apartment lease if not the whole thing so I can actually move to Charlotte (instead of staying with people all the time)!

Well, well, well.  God is soooo my favorite person!  Chris is a very close second.  :)

I just love when all the pieces come together the way only God can!  I have never seen colors like the world is displaying today! God is so pleased with our faith and obedience to him.  No matter what I think is good, God's best is way more my heart's desire!  WOOOHOOOO!  Gosh, I hope I can turn this energy into the strength and perseverance I need to press into the rest of my goals...I'm sure that's what all this energy is here for!

I am now at 70%.  yay!  This is the final stretch, folks.  Super excited about that, but I am definitely feeling the "I don't want to do this anymore" spirit!  Pray it away with me, please!

Do you ever think that maybe some people are only good for you in small doses?  Like, too much interaction with them creates too much intensity.  Stress.  Where is the middle ground?!  Avril Lavigne (sp?) is playing in my head..."Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?"  Mostly, I sing it to myself.  PREACH!

51%  yep...God is good.  Two months and I am halfway done... well, with my monthly partnership goal, anyway.  I have about $3000 to raise in special gifts for the ministry school. 

PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY for me, please!

Staying self-motivated is the hardest thing to do.  Getting on the phone to call people you don't know is really hard to do...especially when you aren't really selling anything they necessarily want to buy :)  Ya know?  I just want to be back.  I am ready to be back.  I miss you guys! 

Wow!  I'm getting so bad at this Xanga thing!  Well, I'm obviously not working at Wake Ortho anymore and God has shown me in more ways than 1 that the door there is totally shut.  He does not want me to have anything more to do with that place than just praying for the people there!  Well, cool.  That's confirming.  So, I'm finishing up my 6th week in this MPD thing and support raising is going a lot slower than I thought.  Granted I've only been meeting with people for five of them because I did Harvest Institute one week.  That was so awesome! I fully recommend it next year, especially if they offer a youth track.  Nathan, Lindsay P and I were in the worship track with Kevin Singleton and BOY, WERE WE BLESSED!  It is so overwhelming to have so many pastors impart so much in so little time.  I'm still processing it all!

I really miss all of you.  MPD is a hard trail to be on because all you want to do is be where God has called you to be yet all you can do is try to "friendraise" quickly so you can get back.  Its totally in God's hands, as I find out more and more.  The level of my diligence does play a great part, but ultimately God has the final say in everything.  As of right now, I am at 36% of my goal.  God is so faithful, and as I gain each new partner it confirms his call on my life.  But, I am learning that even on the day or days when I see no fruit, I have to remain totally confident in my calling.  God doesn't change and neither does His word - it doesn't matter the circumstances for they are ever-changing.  That's why God calls us to be above the circumstances, the head and not the tail.

Anyway, I love you and I will hopefully see you soon!  SIGN UP FOR SURVIVOR!
