California Here I Come
It has finally arrived, tomorrow morning around noon I fly out to Summer Project in the O.C. I have to say that my nerves and emotions are all over the place right now. I talked to Corrie and Kim Bies who have been at their projects for about 2 weeks now and they both pretty much told me the same thing. They said that the first couple of days are weird and not very fun because I wont know anyone and it will be very much of out of my element and comfort zone, but that after that second day everything will change and the relationships will already start to be built. I know that there will be 60 other people in teh exact same boat as me, which is somewhat comforting, but my fears and the insecure girl within me has gone into overdrive. I want them to like me. I want to be confident in who I am and in my faith and not feel inadequate in anyway. Satan is trying to get me where he knows I am weak and unfortunately these last few days its been working. I have been praying like crazy for peace and comfort about this whole thing, but I found myself yesterday questioning , "Why exactly am I doing this again?!". I know that this is right where the Lord wants me to be this summer. Every bit of this up until now has fallen into place and I should not be doubting God's goodness and sovereignty in any way. It's just the uncertainty about the people, the place, finding a job, where I will be living.......and it all just kinda hit me at once.I do know without any uncertainty that the Lord is good and faithful and will meet me in Newport Beach and will take care of me no matter what. If you read this, please pray for traveling mercies, for me in finding a job, for continuous peace and comfort for those first couple of lonely nights and for all the people at Newport Beach that my team and myself will be sharing Christ with and for boldness in that.
I'm excited for this whole experience to begin and have huge expectations of the Lord and what He will do in and through me in these 2 months. Hopefully I will be able to write and talk to you soon with a fantastic report back from Cali! Love and blessings to you all! ~A
