It's so close. Only a week until I leave on a jet plane to New York City for Summer Project. This past month has been a struggle being home. Not constantly surrounded by people who are going to encourage me. I wasn't spending time with the Lord...at all for that matter. And it showed. This past week I needed to change that and I'm now back to being excited about the summer that is ahead of me. Of course I still have over $500 to raise and only a week to do it, but I know it will work out. I'm filled with so many emotions...two being excited and nervous. I don't know what to expect when I get there but I just can't wait to see how God uses me outside of my comfort zone...way outside. I'm ready to grow closer to the Lord, grow close to the other students I'll be living with and fellowshipping with, reach out to the people of the inner city, and of course to be in NYC. I'm also really glad I'm sharing this experience with one of my closest friends and future roomie, Sam.
I'm so ready for the best summer.
