Summer has arrived! I finished classes at the end of April, but it still doesn't feel like summer. I have been busy with preperations for the things to come this summer. First of all, I have been preparing for my mission trip to Jamaica! This will be my first trip outside the good ole' U.S. I am on edge with excitement for this trip. I am counting down the days for sure! We will be there the first full week in June, doing construction, VBS, revivals, and going into the schools and teaching the children about Christ's love. I'm so looking forward to seeing how He is going to work while we are there.
Secondly, I am also excited about partnering with the North American Mission Board and Kingston Avenue Baptist Church. This will also be a new experience for me; it will be my first long-term mission trip. I will be working as a summer mission intern at Kingston Avenue Baptist Church in Indiana. My main focus will be children's ministry, but I will also work with the youth group a little bit too. I leave Murfreesboro July 6th and will be in Indiana for six weeks.
What I look forward to the most about these trips is the fact that I will undoubtedly grow closer to my Heavenly Father. I am going into this summer with an open heart and open mind, knowing that God will teach me from these experiences. I pray that humility, forgiveness, the fruit of the Spirit, compassion, boldness, and other things would become stronger in my walk with Christ. Oh, that I would not forget to give Him all of the glory. He is Lord!
