Summer Mission

I realize that I haven't blogged lately...or at all this year, but I have been waiting on something in particular to blog about (drum roll, please).......to turn in my application to the NAMB to do summer missions! Now, time to rewind and explain how this came about and the story behind it. Last summer I went on a mission trip to Anderson, Indiana with seven other brothers and sisters from my church family.Without going into a lot of detail, I had a really, really great experience there and enjoyed growing with a part of the Body of Christ that was new to me. Now, fast forward a few weeks...back in Murfreesboro, my college pastor (who also went on the trip) came to me and told me that Kingston Avenue (the church we went to) was throwing around the idea of a summer missionary and told me that they asked if I would be interested in coming there for a summer. My first response was "Absolutely!" After thinking about it and getting more info from KABC, I was a little more hesitant because I wasn't sure about taking off of work for the summer or if I would be taking summer classes. After a lot of prayer, talking to my boss, talking to my parents, etc. I finally got to a point where I felt like God was saying "Just do it, you goofball. I'm going to take care of it all." I started working on the very long application on Thanksgiving, still not sure about it at that time, and finally finished it in the middle of January. As of today, I have everything that I need turned in and I have confirmation from NAMB that they have all of my information (and trust me, they have ALL of my information, ha). I also now have the information needed to prepare for what I will be doing this summer. Now all I have left to do is study the material, pray and go! I just want to say that God has been SO good to me with this opportunity. Everything has gone very smooth and I just want to give Him all of the glory for it. As far as the actual trip goes, I will be updating my blog as soon as and as much as possible. Thanks for having an interest in my life!
