I just wanted to give everyone an update on the trip. The congregation at Solid Rock Church graciously gave over 1,300 dollars. What a blessing! I was absolutely amazed at their obedience to give and am ecstatic that so many people have committed to partnered with me through prayer. My support letters are done! They will be getting sent out soon. !
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" - Matt. 16:24

Your Holiness Overwhelms Me and Yet Your Grace Covers Me.
I was reading Isaiah 6 this morning. Isaiah has this incredible encounter with God in the temple and in response to God’s holiness Isaiah realizes how unworthy he is. After Isaiah cries out and admits his shame one of the Seraphim touches him with coal and says that his sins are atoned for. This is such a beautiful expression of how salvation works. God is holy; and in light of him we see how wretched we are. God could leave it at that, he is holy and we are not, but instead he provided a away (Jesus) to wash us of our sin so that we may become worthy of him! It blows my mind that that I might come before a holy God anytime I please.

So it Begins
I’m writing a blog! This space will be a place to share what the Lord is teaching me and to keep everyone updated on my trip to Mozambique this summer. For all of you that have partnered with me through prayer and financial help, thank you! This is going to be a beautiful journey and I can’t wait to share it with all of you! May all our efforts bring glory to God!
