Only 13 Days To Go!!


Lastnight, was yet another reminder of how blessed I am. After the commissioning service, for me and the youth that are going to WC this summer, we had a reception for me as I will be leaving in only 13 days. I received many cards with many encouraging words. As I sat on my bed reading the cards lastnight, I couldn't help but think of how much I will miss all these amaizng, God-sent people. God truley has blessed me. It is going to be really difficult to be away from these people that I know so well. The people that have nurtured me into the young woman I am today.
There is not doubt in my mind that I will be miss being at home this summer. However, I know that this is where God wants me to be this summer. My main focus for this summer is to be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit wants to teach me. Just as the students that attend World Changers, I want to be the be a tool God uses to build His kingdom. I know there will be many challenges and many long nights, but I pray that God use those difficult time to better my understanding of his mercy and grace. Most importantly I hope to teach unbelievers about the grace and mercy of our amazing savior, Jesus Christ.
13 days is not far away. I can't believe that it was 4 months ago when I flew to Atlanta for my interview and now the summer is almost here. My plan for these next few days is to finish with the three finals I have left and then hang out with the two girls that I love so much, Sara and Chrystal. These girls are the greatest! I truely am blessed to have these sisters! It sure will be hard to be away from these lovely ladies. However, I know that God will work through our distance and teach us all many marvelous things this summer. I can't wait to see what God is going to do!

Thanks to all of you that came and supported me lastnight. I love you all so much and am so thankful for each and everyone of you. I will miss you all so much but I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.

And thank you to Shirley, Sara, Chrystal and Trudy for th work you put into the reception for me.

I love you all so very very very much!!

Jessica,

We were excited & honored to do your reception. I'm looking forward to hearing all about your summer, but not looking forward to the part where you have to leave. But going and being where God wants you to be is the safest and best place to be, and I know that he will continue to bless you as you serve him.

I love you!
