My departure is growing steadily closer and now I have less than a week before I leave for Florida. I have been growing more nervous about traveling alone. I have never travelled this far by myself before. However, this morning God has given me a peaceful feeling. It is very early in the morning and nobody else in my house is up yet. I am about to go on a hike with several people from the YMCA. We are going to Glen Rose (Dinosaur Valley). As I look outside I see the beginnings of a beautiful day made by God. The sunrise is so awesome. The cool air of a summer morning feels great.

I just recieved my information for the training in Indiana that I will be attending. The training is called Summer Institute or SI. Please join me in praying that God will help me make the very best of Summer Institute, that I will learn more about my relationship with him, that I will understand more about my call as a missionary to lost youth, that I will be kept safe while traveling, and that God would oversee all aspects of the preparation of Summer Institute.
