Hi everyone! I'm just getting on here to say hello and touch base with you guys. Things here are still pretty busy. One of my friends from work quit and so I have been picking up a lot of extra hours for the past couple of weeks. That works out great as far as acquiring money goes, but it does cause some issues in that I have been needed for some important tasks at the church, so my schedule has been to work 15+ hours per day almost every day this past week between the two places. Friends, I'm a little tired ;)
Soon enough they will hire another person to take her place and I will be back to my normal hours at work, so I am considering it a blessing to be able to make a little extra money for a while. We have a lot of things coming up very soon and, unfortunately, money will be a bit of an issue.
In September I will be attending a week-long school in Arkansas and will actually be in Arkansas working for a few days before to help the school prepare for the week of students. It's a strong possibility that I will be heading into Mexico in October(ish). At the end of December I would really like to be a part of a team going into Israel as well.
I am not one that ever enjoys asking for help, but I would like to ask you all to be praying for me that I will be able to do these things that I believe God is calling me to do. I need God to provide in some very big ways in order to do these things. Please pray and believe with me for the time and the finances to accomplish everything that God has set forth for me to accomplish.
Thank you!

Wowowow!
Hey there friends! Wow, it's been a while since I've written anything on here. Life has been nuts the past couple months. Our church moved to an AWESOME new building that has a ton more space and space to potentially grow into as well. We moved in on June 1st (I was actually at a crazy-awesome wedding that day watching my lovely cousin Ashley marry her best friend Taylor. I love them!!!) and spent the next two weeks unpacking, cleaning, painting, sanding, re-cleaning, rearranging, re-cleaning again, and preparing. We had a big conference here in June (the 19th-22nd...seriously, we did a lot in that first 2 1/2 weeks!) and learned a little over 2 semesters worth of stuff in 4 days time. Honestly, the information was amazing and we are all still trying to unpack it all and discern what it means and how we can utilize this information in our everyday lives.
Since the conference we have been trying to finish with the unpacking/arranging of things here at the church and doing what we do. My friend Daniel and I went out on the street the other night for evangelism. We didn't have a lot of conversations on that trip, but we saw some interesting things, did some heavy praying, and made a contact with someone I already knew but hadn't seen for a while. It was a good night.
God has blessed me lately with several great days. I've gotten to visit people, relax a little, have some fun, and spend time in His presence. Last night we got to have a service with some people who are part of the persecuted church in another country. If you see me in person, feel free to ask me to show you pictures. It was a great night!
There are a lot of things coming up soon, could you please be in prayer for me? There is a week long schooling in Arkansas that I may be doing in September, several missions trips (including Mexico and Israel) coming up perhaps by the end of this year, and the everyday juggle of work, mission/ministry work, and living life that happens. All of this is very costly and it's a struggle to get by sometimes, so saving money toward these things is tough. God is a great provider, though, and I know that when He sends me somewhere, He will provide...even when it's right here in Lawrence.
I hope to see or hear from you all soon! I'd love to hear what is happening in your corner of the world as well! Thanks for reading!
