Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:6-9
Hey everyone! Well, it’s official! I’m on my way to spend my summer in Ocean City, Maryland! My first flight left the Jackson airport at 6:01 this morning (yes, 6:01, not 6:00 or 6:02). The flight was smooth and easy. My seat partner slept the whole time and I nearly froze my feet off (note to self: bring socks next time!), but we made it to Charlotte, North Carolina and now I’m sitting at my next gate. It’s hard to believe that it’s finally here. The whole month of May, I was basically packed and ready to go, but now that it’s actually here, now that I’ve said goodbye to my family and friends until August, it’s sort of surreal. Yesterday I spent a lot of time playing the piano and hanging out with my family. A lot of people came over for s’mores last night, and we weighed my bag using the WiiFit! ^_^ Thank you all for all your support and encouragement as I’ve prepared for the summer! I love you all and will miss you!
I have several prayer requests. This will be the longest period of time I’ve been away from home. I’ve lived in Clinton my whole life and even go to school there, so this is the first time in my life that my family won’t be just a 3-minute car ride away. I’m resting in the fact that my Father is with me wherever I am, but I know that I’m really going to miss home. Please pray to keep away homesickness and worry. Also, my teammate Michelle was supposed to be here at the airport with me right now; her flight was supposed to leave at the same time as mine. However, her flight was cancelled, and now she won’t leave until almost 4 this afternoon and arrive in Ocean City at 9 tonight. Pray that she won’t be stressed about this and for a restful day and safe flights for her. Please keep my team in your prayers as we meet face-to-face today and begin working together. With all of you backing our ministry with prayer, Jesus is gonna do some totally awesome things this summer! I’m just ready to be amazed! :) Finally, when you pray for me and my Ocean City team, please also take some time to lift up the other summer missionaries around the world, especially those in secure countries. Pray for endurance and wisdom as all of us spend our summers telling, literally, the world about our Savior. Thank you all for your prayers!
Hey, so I just met another of my teammates! Her name is Taylor and she's from North Carolina! Just 2 and half hours to wait in the airport........
