Hey everyone! Tomorrow I will arrive in Santa Cruz and my journey will begin! I will be meeting my first summer project mates at the airport and taking a shuttle to the Peter Pan Motel! It will be a red carpet arrival! Raising support has been a journey in itself. Last time I blogged I still had hundreds of dollars to raise and now I'd like to praise God for helping me raise over four thousand! My support team includes teachers from high school, aunts & uncles, grandparents, friends of my parents, friends of my grandparents, pastors, hair stylist, friends parents, cheerleading coach from high school, Bible study leaders, CRU staff, high school principal, UNCW professors, church members, my boyfriends church family and parents and their friends, neighbors, my dentist, my dental hygienist, UNCW staff, YoungLife leaders, my sister's husbands family, my sister's dad, coworkers of my parents, my coworkers, my parents, my dad's Sunday School class, my dear friends from high school and my friends that attend class with me at UNCW and friends that attend CRU with me! Not to mention everyone who has been praying for me and will continue to pray for me and the hearts of those in Santa Cruz! What a team, huh? God has shown me how powerful and mysterious His works are, which has really helped strengthen my faith in Him. Raising support has given me the opportunity to reconnect with friends and loved ones I haven't been able to stay in touch with over the years. God has brought family back together and opened doors to new friendships that will last forever.
Anyway, I can't wait to get there tomorrow and spend 10 weeks with 60 other amazing college students that share the same love for the Lord that I do! Together, we will "crusade" our way through Santa Cruz and spread the love of God wherever we go. Please pray for our safety as we travel and that the Lord will prepare our hearts for what we are about to encounter.
