Three weeks away

This blog was created for my family and friends to follow as I am in Santa Cruz, California this summer. I will be giving updates about what the Lord is doing in and through me as well as what my life on the west coast is like.

With that said, I can't believe it is almost time for me to leave for California. It seems like yesterday I was applying and then receiving the phone call that I was accepted to do summer project in Santa Cruz. I vividly remember that night getting off the phone and in tears of joy calling my parents and telling them. I was and still am overjoyed for this opportunity to serve Christ there! And I am even more excited to meet my project team of about 60 students and for how the Lord is going to use us for His glory.

Monday marks three weeks until I step out of everything that is familiar and fully depend on the Lord during this very exciting journey. There are moments when it hits me that I will be away from friends and family for a whole summer and I know I will miss them terribly, but there is no doubt, in how faithful the Lord has been to provide, that this is where I am suppose to be. I count it pure joy that Christ chose to use me to share the gospel in California.

Thank you for those who have committed to partnering with me in prayer, there are no words to describe how truly thankful I am. Please continue to pray me and for the people in Santa Cruz that the Lord will place in my path. I cannot wait to be there and I look forward to updating you often on my experience.

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.” Acts 20:24

Soli Deo Gloria.
