God is so good!

Although I am not very outgoing, I have always seemed to serve in some sort of leadership position, either at my church or in extracurricular activities. And through my first year of college I was able to get away with "comfort zone" obedience. I am the current communications officer at our Baptist Student Ministry, where I make a biannual newsletter as well as communicate events and things like that to students. I have co-led a girls Bible study. But, in all those things I had very close support. I had people right next to me to answer questions or provide curriculum. But this summer God has something completely different planned. I had every excuse not to go. My sister's graduating in June and there's no way I can miss that! I don't have the money. My apartment has a twelve month lease... There are so many practical reasons for me not to go on missions this summer. But God has overcome absolutely all of them. The trip I was selected to go on is to Pullman, Washington- still in the United States, which makes my parents more comfortable, and lasts from June 9-August 1. So I won't miss Lindsey's graduation. And I'll be back right in time for my new lease to take effect. As far as finances, I have been completely blown away by how the body of Christ has more than covered my trip. It's amazing. God has provided enough money to cover my trip and make both my car payments for while I'm gone! As for my apartment, I should find out tomorrow whether someone will sublease it. If you have a moment say a prayer that God can use that situation to provide for this trip. My God is so good. He can do absolutely anything and that includes using me to fulfill His purpose. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I know that this summer is going to change my life. For the first time I won't have the answers in front of me. I will walking in faith and trusting that, just as He has up to this point, God will take care of it. I won't have my mom or my friends there to use as a crutch but rather will be forced to fully depend on God for peace, for fulfillment. My God is so good.
