In my attempts to keep the world updated on my excursions, I've decided that keeping this online blog will help me keep my family and friends informed.
This summer, I'll be going to Germany. Wiesbaden, Germany! Yes ladies and gents, I'm going back home!
And yeah. I'm pretty hackin excited about it. But in all honesty, its an intimidating thing. This will be my first time back to Germany in 7 years and needless to say, its a different country than when I left it. I'll admit, I've sort of idealized the country and I'm afraid its gonna be a pretty abrupt wake up call to my memories of the place. But, on the other hand, it may be 100 times better than I recall, in which case I'm not complaining. :) Oh the pains we inflict upon ourselves eh?
If you're not aware of what I'm doing, I'll be working with Cadence International Student Ministries helpin out the military youth in Wiesbaden by leading in worship, working with small groups, and planning all sorts of wicked awesome projects.
One of the coolest things is that Dan, the missionary I'm workin with, is the same missionary that worked with me when I was a little youth kid. Oh boy is there gonna be some catchin up to do. He asked me, "What do you want to get out of this internship?" And well its simple really. (well maybe not)
Long story short: This trip is going to let me know if God's calling me to long-term mission work. I have a heart for ministry and seeing lives changed and the longer I go through College, the more I can't see myself doing anything but working full-time ministry. So We shall SEEEEE!!
What I ask from you would be to just keep me in prayer. Pray for the Spirit’s wisdom and guidance while I’m in a new environment. Pray for peace and contentment while I’m away from my friends and family. Pray that God will do amazing things in the hearts and lives of the students I come in contact with, and finally pray for His name to be glorified in everything we do!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
