from one journey to the next...

For the past 10 days I have been enjoying life in Durango, Colorado! I came back to camp to volunteer as the camp nurse during staff week and to set up the Health Center and it has been surprisingly eventful! I have spent time with great friends from last summer, made new great friends, and have re-encountered my love for Colorado once more! Although I am absolutely heart broken to be leaving camp tomorrow morning I have been more than blessed by the people here and the love they have shown me! It brings me such joy to be here and I know that the Lord will be working here in incredible ways this summer.

Today I recieved an email from Amanda (my sister) saying that she arived in Kenya safely! She has been traveling the world doing missions and has actually been assigned to be in Kenya during the month of June which just happens to be the exact place I will be at the exact time! We haven't figured out details yet about how we are going to meet up but we know that the Lord will provide favor in our travels and schedules to make it work. In her email, Amanda left me a scavanger hunt to do in the airport in Kenya for a note that she had hidden for me. It bring me tears to think that I will find a note with her cute handwritting on it that was placed specifically by her for me! I cant explain the feeling but just knowing that we will be in the same country gives me a great peace and happiness. I love knowing that I will be so close to her!

At this point I really am praying for safety with traveling. I know that I rest in the Lord's hands and He will protect me and take care of me!!! It seems a little weird when I think about traveling on my own for such a long time but I suppose its all part of this adventure! I cant wait to meet new people and encounter people that I can share Christ's love with. A few weeks ago some of my closest friends were praying over me at church for my trip to Africa! I have never felt so blessed and truely COVERED in prayer! Today I recieved a booklet of letters from other counselors here at camp and I can't begin to explain the emotions that came with it! What a sweet sweet blessing from the staff! Thank you for your encouragement and prayers!!!

Thank you, Lord for a strong community that supports me so well!

So... here I go from one journey to the next, ready to serve the Lord in a completely new way!
