I am planning on attending something called summer training project this summer. for the second summer in a row. never thought God would call me to go back down to Garden City, South Carolina again. This summer I will have a different position however. i will be leading and discipling a group of 3 to 4 girls. i would like to start using the blog to update people on how this process is going. i'm planning on raising about $1500 to cover expenses for the summer. i know that the Lord is going to provide. He is so good. i'll be writing more later. would love any prayer and support.
the thought of this exhausts and scares me. first, raising the money, than learning how the heck to be selfless enough to think and care for 3 girls intentionally for a whole summer. i feel like i'm going to south carolina to be a mom. i know the Lord has plans for these girls and for using me as a vessel of His infinite grace and love towards them. all i need is to rest in and be refreshed by is that He died for my sinful self and that now His steadfast love and His covenant of peace will not be removed from me (Isaiah 54)..whether i go to myrtle beach or China. i'll need a daily reminder of the gospel and His beautiful love at the cross just as much as these girls i'm discipling will.
"Our whole life as Christians is a process of sailing confidently into the open seas, dying down in exhaustion, and having our sails filled again with God’s precious promises…
No less than when we first believed, we must always attribute to the gospel the power that fills our sails with gratitude....At the beginning, in the middle, and at the end, the gospel ‘is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes’ (Rom. 1:16).”
