You are NEVER alone

The LOVELY ladies I spent a week at JH
Camp with! 

This summer is FLYING by and I can't believe we are just a few weeks away from September and my first fall kick off! A few weeks ago I got to spend a week at junior high camp with some awesome young ladies. They were FULL of energy and our cabin was NEVER boring. I had a blast spending time in the sun, playing games, swimming, being 'Monique' in the 'Voice' competition and laughing till I cried. After coming home exhausted but thrilled by the work God did, I toured and said YES to a cute little duplex just half a mile from the church. Another AWESOME gift from the Lord and another 'God is ALWAYS Faithful' story.

Last night I came home from High School camp where I spent another week pouring into the lives of students. We played hard and slept hard and hand an awesome time making memories that I KNOW will last forever. The theme for the week was 'Never Beyond Repair' talking about how no matter what we go through in life, no matter what our past looks like, we are never beyond repair in God's eyes, and we are always welcome to come to him. 

Spent an afternoon in the sun at Lincoln City
during HS camp. I am SO beyond blessed
to be doing full time ministry like I am! 

Going into the week, I had no idea just how much God was wanting to teach me. As we are moving through summer, the reality of not going back to Multnomah in the fall is really sinking in. My community of friends is in Portland and not in Renton, yet, that is where God is calling me to be. I am serving with every ounce of my being but will be filled up less as I begin to establish my own community. This week at camp was a reminder that even though my friends may not be around all the time, I am EXACTLY where God has called me to be and for that, I am filled with so much peace, beyond my imagination. Jesus loves me so much and has designed this season of my life for a specific purpose and He will never leave me.

Thank you for your continued prayers as I journey through life following where my God is calling me to be. Continue to pray with me as there are a lot of details to take care of before our big Fall Kick Off. And expect a new blog in the coming days showing off my new home...I move THIS WEEK! :)
