time is flying!

I am amazed at how fast this summer is going!

This was a really long week. I feel like a lot happened.

As the days pass, camp becomes a little bit more difficult. We have had some really good days and we have had some really bad days. My heart just breaks for these kids. The way they treat each other is so sad. The way they feel about themselves is just as sad. I will say that it's been great to see a good amount of kids learning and growing. It brings me so much joy to hear them asking questions about God. Even watching them sing our silly camp songs is so great. It is a blessing to be here and teach these children about Jesus!

As long and hard as this week has been...it has also been really great. I interviewed for a job on tuesday and got a phone call that night! After I listened to the voicemail I screamed to the others that I got it. We all celebrated and I cried. The only thing i could do was cry. I had just been offered a job doing what I love(taking care of babies) The job is full time with benefits. A perfect match! At that moment it was clear that God was providing for me what I need to make his calling on this season in my life happen. I prayed for a healthy confidence and the right words for the interviews and God sure did give that to me. I will be starting that after this internship ends.

It's good to be here. It is so different but I am thankful. I am most thankful that I am forming healthy relationships. I am meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone. I have never felt so free to be who God has created me to be. This is a season of newness and I am ready to embrace it.

I can't wait th live in Hartford after the summer. I can't wait to spend free time meeting neighbors, playing with the kids on the block, and working with HCM as much as possible.

Everyday God teaches me a little bit more about who he is. All I NEED IS JESUS! That is so refreshing!

Please be praying:

I still need to raise about 600 dollars in a month and a half. so you could be praying for that. I also could use prayers for continued confidence in the Lord's plan for this season! I would really apprecicate prayers that I am able to love with the love that Jesus has given me. That through my love people would know Him. Pray for contunued safety and peace in the house. Pray for the peacc of God to rest in my heart! Pray for my team and all of the children at camp!
