We are putting together a skit that we can do throughout the year at events and things. It is coming together really well & sends chills down my spine every time we do...so I know it's going to rock. I plan on posting it once we tape it but I just wanted you all to know how excited I am about it.
I started at Mimi's officially by myself a couple of days ago and it's going pretty well. Still learning the new way to do things there but I am confident that with time I will get it. I am most excited to see how God will use me in the lives of the people that I work with there. If you could be praying for opportunities I would be so grateful. I am hopeful that God will open doors that His glory may shine. Without Him there is no purpose, and I never want anything to be just a job but a place where God has ordained me to be so that I can work for His kingdom & I am thrilled about it!!
Loren's wedding is coming up on July 11th so I will be making a trip home during that time...so hopefully I will see a lot of you then :)
Always in His love.

Just got back to Memphis today. It was an awesome trip with some really wonderful people. I am excited to see all that God will do in these students' lives this summer as well as my own.
We stayed and served at a place called MAM (Memphis Athletic Ministries) which is a gym developed to reach intercity youth for Christ through organized sports. They run camps, programs, sport teams, and just about anything else where kids can come, get off the streets, and be invested into. A wonderful blessing to be able to be there and see all that is happening and be reminded how much my heart beats for that group.
I'm not sure what God has for me after this year but every time I am around kids from the "hood" a passion just burns deeply inside of me that spurs me on...so we will see what happens for here. Right now, though, until He moves me, I am thrilled to be a part of a place and a vision that seeks to enrich kids lives so that they can make a difference in the world in the name of Jesus.
Oh and we are putting together a skit, so when it's all said and done, I'll post it so you can see it :)

Over the last couple of days I have been challenged with some really good questions....
"How are you known?" & "Am I growing in intimacy with Christ?"
Addressing the first one, thinking about the songs I sing at church or the words I read in the Bible...are those things I am just singing and reading or that I am living them out in a convicted passionate way? I want to be a woman who thinks & speaks the Truth, who lives the Truth as a new creation in Christ (2 Cor 5:17). And as I do those things, as I am seeking to overcome sin, be disciplined in a certain area, is it because it's something I feel I have to "do" to gain approval or love from God or because I have an acute desire to know Him deeper?
As I am here, as I do countless activities with youth, work on teams, work at the restaurant, encounter people day in and day out, I ask you to pray that my intimacy with Christ and my desire and love for Him grows deeper. With everyday I pray I would "thirst to be more thirsty still"(A.W. Tozer) so that I am growing closer to Him and that is how I would be known...a woman walking intimately with her Creator and Savior.
