Short update... not a whole lot is new.
Today is a very rainy Sunday. I am sitting in my living room in sweats and an old comfy sweatshirt. Remembering how incredibly hot D.C. was last summer I am soaking up these moments of being able to bundle up. Despite all of the stuff I need to get done, I think I am going to take a nap!
Finals week was last week. I left Eau Claire yesterday afternoon, got home, and have been unpacking, doing laundry, and repacking ever since. Packing for YouthWorks is so different than last year. I have such a better grasp on what I need and what I can live without. Needless to say, I am 99% sure I will still overpack. Oh well!
Tomorrow morning I leave for Philly for a week of training. I do not have internet access, so there won't be any updates for about a week. I am so excited to meet my staff and get pumped about this summer together!!!
More later!
PEACE!

Relenting Expectations
BIG NEWS: I am going to be going to Washington D.C. for a 2nd summer.
It is 4:56 in the morning and I can't sleep. My brain is going a billion miles per hour. I am about to embark on my finals week in addition to getting ready for my YouthWorks summer. I don't know where to begin to process. I am so so SO excited to be back in the community I have fallen in love with... but that huge feeling of excitement is matched with a nervousness. I am in the same city doing the same job. That gives me great comfort. I know what to expect with that. BUT it is going to be so different. Instead of Courtney, Dan, and Austin I have Roselyn, Noah, and Savion. Instead of going into this summer blind, I have insight and knowledge from last summer. Along with that insight and knowledge comes expectations. These expectations scare me. I do not want them! I want God to use this summer how ever He desires.
Please pray for my continued excitement, the relent of my expectations, and the Lord to rock my world this summer as He reveals truth about His character to me.
Thank you for following me as I embark on this adventure.
I can hear the birds waking up. Whoops. I am going to try to sleep...
