1 timothy 1:12

"I am grateful to Him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because He considered me trustworthy in appointing me to the ministry."

1 Timothy 1:12

Today I finished my junior year of college. I turned in my last paper and, with a celebratory nutella smoothie in hand, rejoiced in the summer sun. 

The stark white walls of my dorm room are picture-less.

My clothes and things are packed into duffel bags and ready to be stored away. 

I am one week from a flight to Atlanta to serve as a missionary for three months.

Moving from one mission field to the next.

I know that I haven't done the best job of updating this blog in that past school year ( I found many drafts I never posted ha)  - BUT FEAR NOT - I will be updating this blog during the summer as a way for y'all to be up to date on the great and holy experiences of summer camp and the glory of what's happening there. 

When I started this blog in a response to remaining fearless after my first experience of summer camp, I had no idea that I would be going back 3 summers in a row. LOL ya no. But God knows me and knows my heart and I am thrilled and humbled to be out tending the vineyard again at summer camp. 

One week from today I will be in GA and praying and dancing and jumping around with great and holy people and hammocking on the weekend and meeting hundreds of new friends and I'll probably lose my voice 4 weeks from now and ironing lots of altar linens and running around in chacos (or barefoot) and itching away at hundreds of mosquito bites. I'm pumped. If a run-on sentence doesn't make you feel excited for me, I don't know what will. 

So, three summers later I am still trying to remain fearless, still trying to remain in Him and remain in His love (John 15:9). I welcome you to join me on my mission this summer by praying for me and by checking out my donation page here.  I am still fundraising and have about $150 to raise to hit my goal.

I am ready to head back to early mornings and late nights, community holy hours, breakfast corndogs, teens running to reconciliation and excited about the Mass, loving on God's awesome teens and meeting wonderful and dedicated youth ministers and core members, great friends and encouragement and community and just some great love. yeeeeee!

I cannot wait to see what He has planned this summer. I have a feeling its gonna be a great one.

He is good, y'all. Praise. 

Live with Joy.
