1 Month Away!

I'm so excited as God has brought everything into place for my trip this summer!  I leave 1 month from today!  Thank-you for your prayers!

This Morning...

Today I got to go out to breakfast with my Katie and Emily while they are home from school for Easter!  I always enjoy when we get to hang out and talk!  You are such wonderful examples, special friends, and my "big sisters"  Love you both!!!

Last week

Last week was an exciting week for me as I got to go up to Bob Jones University for a yearly national fine arts competition with AACS.  I qualified at state for 3 categories (Calligraphy, Oral Interpretation of Scripture, and Old Testament Testing) and was so excited!  Hanging out with friends both old and new, listening to talented speeches, looking at beautiful art, hearing the music and chapel services, and being part of an exciting awards ceremony, all made a special and memorable week!  I knew both my speech and calligraphy didn't place before the awards Thursday night, but still had my testing left.  

I was so surprised that my testing over Jonah, Nehemiah, and Daniel got 3rd PLACE!!!  Here are a few pictures of my week!

So excited!

Wow... Wow... Wow!

This arrived in our mailbox today.  I'm overwhelmed by His love shown by someone's generous and kind gift.  Wow... It is amazing to see AGAIN that He does hear and answer prayer especially after a hard 3 weeks.  I can't put it into words... I don't deserve someone's gift to me, yet someone showed me so much love!  Like He did through giving us the greatest gift!

I'm unspeakably in awe of God and someone's amazing kindness to me.
May I be able to show the people of Peru HIS love like someone has shown me!

Philippians 4:19-20
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
