littles

this morning i found out the two littles that i will have in my room, and my co-big. i can't share names, but do ask that you pray for them, and for me and my co-big, for the transition and our relationships. please pray that our focus will be on christ, and we will be able to love them with His love. they come back from break on sunday, and we officially begin tomorrow. i'm very excited to see how God is working here, and to see how He is working in the littles.

thanks for your prayer and support

IHOP

this past weekend we had a retreat with the leadtimers from our branson campus. we worshiped with them, had prayer partners, and some good time of fellowship. its good knowing that there is another campus, with people like us, going through similar experiences, and knowing they are praying for us and we are praying for them.
today i had to recertify my cpr training (good times for sure), and we had a focus group to give ideas for the new website of leadtime.
we had this afternoon/night off, so me and a few other leadtimers (bigs) decided to go to IHOP (International House of Prayer)...no pancakes...the first thing i noticed when we got there was that there were many different state liscence plates represented in the parking lot. it was sweet seeing how people from all over the country were there to join in worship. a little background info, IHOP has had a 24/7 prayer room for almost 10 years without stop, talk about praying without ceasing! it was definitely an awesome setting for praying/singing/reading the bible/journaling. it's amazing to think that it has been going on in that same room for 10 years. it was cool to be in that environment of worship and prayer.

training

I made it safely to Independence, MO.  However, I would like to give a shout out to Christina who drove with me here, but then because of a delayed flight, had to spend the night in Chicago.  I can tell already it is definitely going to be a challenging time here, but worth it.  I have met some awesome people and am excited to continue getting to know them!  I don't really know too much yet, but we are training this week.  This weekend we are spending time with the LeadTimers from the Branson campus.  I don't have much else to say, other than that I'm excited to see God working here, and excited for how He is going to use me!  

everything i need for a year in a honda civic

Just been packing up all night and I'm excited to go, but also a little nervous. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and having this new experience, but I'll definitly be missing my family and friends. Hopefully I'll be able to use this blog to keep people up to date with what's going on with me in Missouri. I'm so busy getting ready that my dear sister has to type this for me, what a pal!
