Well after a fun-filled week in Branson for our end of the summer retreat, we are all safely back in KCK. I went with Molly, Sofie, Jarrett, Kristen, all four of their kids, and another staff member, Jason. It was like taking a family vacation all over again except this time, we had our own rooms and a jacuzzi bath tub :) It was a great time to be able to process through this summer and look ahead to the next year. It's CRAZY to me to think that next week is our last week. It seems like I still have so much to do!!!!!
I decided to get the young women in the Bible study purity rings in the next few days. We have talked about it and I am excited to be able to give them something that will remind them of all the things that they learned this summer. I think that leaving them will undoubtedly be the hardest part about moving back to OP and simply trusting that God has got them.
I will continue to update this site over the course of the next year to let those of you that check this know what's going on in ministry and if I have decided anything about potential ministry commitments. I feel strongly that I have been asked to wait till the end of the summer to make any formal commitments about my future with Mission Adelnate but I am patiently waiting on God to reveal HIS plans for my calling. It's intensely difficult to have finally found what you feel you were created to do and then wait until God assures you of His plans. However, God's faithfulness is something that has given me immense comfort this summer. Thanks to all of you that have supported me with prayer this summer. I could not have done any of this without you :)
