Here we go!

Tomorrow is the big day. My clothes are (almost) packed and I can't wait to get to New City. I go with a grateful heart for the love and support that are sending me downtown and with this Biblical promise, brought up to me by two different loved ones:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your paths."

(Proverbs 3:5-6)

I stand in awe

Spring break could have been entirely meaningless. Instead, I was blessed to go to CityLights and serve alongside 50-some brothers and sisters, from all parts of the globe, all working together to grow God's Kingdom. I have never before felt such genuine Christian community. The experience was otherworldly. As hard as diving back into a broken world is, the fires have been fanned; I can't wait to seek out God's will for me to love the unloved. I can't wait to get back to CityLights, or to the city. I can't wait to see what my gracious God is going to do in me and through me. Bring on the real world.
