So, in these past few weeks, I have experienced the biggest spiritual and emotional rollercoaster of my life. One minute I think I'm going to Argentina, the next I'm not, and the next I am again! I just praise God that He reminded me of His faithfulness and sovereignty through the entire experience.
Jan Sherard, a Crusade staff woman at Clemson, called the CRU regional headquarters and begged them to make an exception for me so that I could apply for STINT late and still go. I got a call during my internship one day from the offices and they told me I could go! Wow!
So, following that phone call was a flurry of applications, paperwork, supporter-brainstorming, and flight scheduling in preparation for the STINT/Intern Kickoff weekend that was this past weekend in Asheville, NC. God was good and everything got finished.
I flew into Greenville and got to spend some time with my parents, which was so nice. :) I had a wonderful time in Asheville meeting my STINT team and learning how to raise support. We got so much information though and this whole support-raising has started to intimidate me a little. However, God has convicted me time and again that I should not be intimidated by any amount of money--He owns the cattle on a thousand hills! He has also blessed me and my family with so many Christian, mission-minded friends. I have no doubt that all of my support will come in, though it will take most of my time this summer. I can't wait to see what miracles God performs!
So, right now, I'm at this place called The Jericho Center, which is a place that has a live praise band playing worship music 12 hours a day, every day. They also have little rooms to the side where you can go read Scripture, pray, or even do homework. It is such an incredible place and has an amazing atmosphere. In each room, there are touchscreens that will give you prayer guides, worship music playlists, and will even read any Bible passage to you aloud! We need a place like this in Greenville. :)
Please continue to be in prayer for me as I start raising a full year's salary for my STINT in Buenos Aires (BA), Argentina. I'll leave Greenville September 6, 2011 and return November 1, 2012.
Thanks for reading!
