Hit the Ground Running.t

I debated on whether or not to do one of these..

UNTIL. I got here and realized how limited my time is going to be.

Right now, we have more free time than a week and a half from now..

So. this is the best way for me to update.

As Debbie says, that time is called "After Christ."

and everything will change. :)

We landed in Reno/Tahoe yesterday afternoon and I don't think I've looked back since then.

Meeting ten new girls plus all the staff I'll be with all summer was quite overwhelming yesterday,

but its crazy how much fun we're already having together. 

I found a running partner to keep me in shape out here, and our run this morning was such a wonderful start to my day. We went down to the lake which is about a block from our church, and it was BEAUTIFUL. at 6 am, about to die from running in this high altitude, I couldn't help but stop and thank my Jesus for making such a beautiful picture for me to start my day with.

I can't help but think that it is times like these that will help me get through this summer, 

when all ten of my girl teammates are driving me crazy.

((I don't see that happening anytime soon though!))

Some things I've had to get used to already.

Living in a room the size of my dorm with 7 other girls. 

-So far I have no complaints about this.. I love my roommates :)

Talks of bears breaking in everywhere. I cant wait to see one!

High, High altitude!

Now on to the reason that I am even here.

Jesus has been opening my eyes to my fear lately, and how much it can control areas of my life.

I'm working on that so much, and as soon as I do..

I see that we are giving our testimonies later this week to our team, 

and I'm teaching my first lesson on Monday morning to 1st and 2nd graders.

Speaking in front of people is something that intimidates me a whole whole lot,

but not this time. I'm giving it to God, and realizing more and more that everything I do here,

is for his glory.

((Even my daily chores for the next ten weeks))

We got to work with some of the little ones today,

and I realized the reason that I am here once again.

To bring them, their families and the people of this community to know MY JESUS.

the one that gives me his undeserving grace everyday, and changes my heart and life all the time. 

So, even though I'm just getting started on this journey..

JESUS. come. continue to reveal yourself to me. more than ever before.

READY OR NOT.. TRANSFORMATION, HERE I COME!
