Summer Prep

HAHAHAHA Fail Blog! I stink at updating this. Whatev!

I'd like to elaborate on the purpose of this blog. To make my explanation a little more fun... let's put it in interview format!

Q: What is the purpose of this blog?
A: This blog started as a great procrastination tool. However, as the summer approached I may be putting it to productive use. Over the summer I hope to post what I am doing and what the Lord is teaching me.

Q: Why do you need a blog to communicate what is going on in your life this summer?
A: Great question! I am working for an organization called YouthWorks. They facilitate week long mission trips across the country for junior high and high school students. I will be living and working at a mission site with three other staff members. The four of us are going to be very busy serving the Lord. Because of that I will not have time to effectively communicate with all the people I would want to about what I am up to. This lovely blog allows me to tell you all a lot of information all at once.

Q: Where are you going to be this summer?
A: I still don't know my exact placement... but I for sure know that I will be somewhere on the East Coast-ish Region. I could be anywhere from a rural town in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains to Queens, Ny. I will know my exact placement on May 14th.

Q; Wow...out East! What is your thought process about that?
A: I am SUPER excited! I feel so hard core! Along with that excitement comes a lot of nerves. I seriously never even though about staying out East for more than a week vacation... and now I will be living there for 3 months! Crazy Man! I REALLY though I would be placed somewhere in the Midwest! I was thinking Chicago or Duluth. HA NOPE! The Lord has some other plans.
Although I am very anxious and kinda scared about the whole situation ... I am finding SO much peace in the Lord's direction in all of this. I had no choice as to where I am going this summer. I am comforted in knowing that my will has not gotten in the way of the Lord's. I KNOW that He has chosen this placement for me... and I KNOW that He will not put me anywhere that I can't handle. I am looking forward to see all that He is going to teach me though this.

Q: What are you doing until you go out East?
A: I am still at school. I have 7 days of class left... then a week of finals. Then I am going home for 2 days to spend QUALITY time with the fam-jam... and then I leave Monday for training in Phili. These last couple weeks of school are going to be very busy with school and friends and preparing (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) for the summer.
But I would not change it for the world! I am SO blessed!

Q: Random question... What song do you have in your head at the moment?
A: Replay by Iyaz. It has been stuck in my head all day! I like to modify the lyrics to "that girl there she is my toaster" instead of "that girls is the gun to my holster"

Q: Anything else?
A: Neh. I think this is long enough. Hopefully I will update this more frequently in the weeks to come.

Living for Him!
