Time to move!

The amount of support that has come in this week has been overwhelming! (Almost $10,000!!)  I am now at 94% of my budget for this year and have been officially cleared to move to campus!! Please be praying for me this week as I pack up and move to North Carolina!

To those of you who have donated and/or have been praying for me this summer, THANK YOU!!! This summer, God has given me a much bigger picture of the Body of Christ and what it means to be a part of that. At the beginning of the summer, the number $28,470 was daunting. I knew God would provide the support I needed if it was His will for me to be an intern, but I struggled to believe that. The thought of raising that much money in only a few months seemed impossible. And yet, here I am, with $26,645 in my support account... wow!!! God is faithful!

This week, I also got to spend a little time with some of my college friends in Statesboro... it brought back a lot of memories of my own college days and my own experiences with RUF at Georgia Southern, so I thought I'd share some of those with you:

My first GSU football game!
first RUF Winter Conference
The night we decided to carve pumpkins... and went a little overboard. ;)
My intern Emily  (Sarah Palin) and I (Christmas Tree...) - Halloween 2008
Mission Trip to Chicago! - Spring break 2010

Roommates! (senior year)

Winter Conference 2011 

Widow's Watchmen mission trip - Spring Break 2011

One of many RUF Christmas parties... 

RUF Summer Conference 2011! 

When I think of my college days, I automatically think of the people I spent those days with. I thank God for the great friendships and fun times he blessed me with during those four years, and also for the things he taught me and  my campus minister (Sammy Rhodes), interns, and friends who helped me through difficult times.

Now I'm off to a new campus, with new demographics, a new RUF group, and a new role within RUF... it's a little scary, but I'm excited to find out what God has in store for me over these next two years at...



Western Carolina University! 

Go Catamounts!






P.S. I still need to raise about $1,800 to finish out this first year, so if you're interested in supporting me, please check out the Support me tab for more information!
