Today is the end of the first week of Summer DTS. I have met all the students as well as my three small group girls! Chris, Sarah and Pheobe ( Aussie ). The week was packed with "Bonding",  parties and our first camping and rafting trip of the summer. We laughed alot and got to know eachother even better in the 40 degree mountian weather... lol. The best part was watching those who have never been camping get along with no shower, sleeping on the ground and limited choices on food. I just kept reminding them that it was preperation for their 2 month outreach!

The Lord is wonderful and faithfully keeping me in Him during this crazy time. It is a privilage to be here in such a beautiful place and work with some really beautiful people.

Thank you Lord for calling me.

Life is good! Busy but good. We are about finished with this quarter and the schools will be leaving for outreach with the next week. June 19th marks the arrival of summer student and a new quarter. I will be taking over the kitch in full and working with Camp the Rockies DTS. I am very excited, however i am aware of the challenge i am about to face. I just keep reminding myself that grace is sufficant in such seasons.

My birthday is in 6 days! OH MY WORD, 28! I am feeling good about this next year even if i have no idea of what it will look like. There will be many changes, including my best girls all moving on in life. I will miss them terribly but i do know they are only a flight away!

My fam is coming to visist in september so it will be good to hang out with them too. I miss them!

Good Morning All!

I know it has been sometime since my last blog but life has sped up in the last few weeks.
I am full-time with Youth With A Mission, Denver and am training to take over the kitchen department. I know the Lord has much to teach me about leadership and other things about administration that does not come naturally to me. I am sure that this is a good season I have just entered and I am trusting the Loveingkindness of my Lord to lead me through what could become stretching times. I have been asking the Lord for a supernatural Grace to rest on me. I desire a grace I have not walked in previously and I pray it will only grow in the time ahead. There are times in life when  you are in a holding place designed by the Love of God to train and equip you. Sometimes this feels like a prison to the soul who is restless for the vision to be birthed and released... I am currently in such a place. However, last night after returning form leading a weekly outreach here with some of our students the Lord spoke to me of this holding cell. What I have come to see, but the grace of God, is this "prison" is His secret place. He has hidden me in the cleft of the rock so that the purposes of His life in me may not be change. Those who he has called me to disciple are hidden as well, however, they are hidden in Egypt.

May I embrace this season of solitude as I grow continually in the Love of Christ.
