Kenya dig it?

Team Kenya at the airport! 

It's time for Africa! I can't believe it's already here. We're about to board the plane. GOD IS SO GOOD!


God blessed us with an amazing week of pre-field training. We had plenty of talks about conflict, what to expect on the field, and a great talk about Humility, which I so desperately needed. We were able to meet interns that will be going all over the world, and it was wonderful to feel connected and apart of all of the different ministries. God was so good to bring us all together, and I love my team! We have had a lot of fun, and I can't wait to be on the field with everyone. 


Please be praying for our safety as we travel, flexibility on the field, for us to really love each other more than we love ourselves, and for God to really work in and through us this summer. Pray that conflict won't arise and if/when it does, we would handle it in a Godly manner. Thank you so much for all of your prayers!

"Let me find thy light in my darkness,

thy life in my death,

thy joy in my sorrow,

thy grace in my sin,

thy riches in my poverty,

thy glory in my valley."

"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, 

in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. 

For when I am weak, then I am strong." 

2 Corinthians 12:10

Pre-field training!

Hello Goodbye

Who knew goodbye could be so hard. Words can really not express how much I have been blessed by my job at East Lanier. I'm going through the last's right now... I have had my last youth group, my last staff meeting, my last bible study in Isaiah, my last community group, my last day at work, my last East Lanier event and the list goes on and on. It's only the beginning and I'm starting to become incredibly sad.

The youth threw me a going away party, how sweet! 

I have been blessed beyond belief with the opportunity of serving at East Lanier Community Church. God has richly blessed me through the lives of this Body of Christ. I have learned so much, and will continue to learn from them. The women of East Lanier have been so wonderful to me. They have been true examples of Christ,  and I cannot express how thankful I am. They have been role models and modeled to me how to live a christian life with their husbands and children. They have invested their lives in me, encouraged me, prayed with me and for me, and words cannot express how thankful I am. This is what the body of Christ is all about, and someday I hope to be an example to others as they have been to me.

One of the girls in my community group wrote this for me. 

As I've been processing my "lasts" I have been reflecting on the many life lessons I've been learning these past two years. God has clearly shown me my desire to be a part of ministry full time, and the desires he's given me to hopefully go into full time ministry after college. I am sad that this phase in my life is over, but incredibly thankful to have been given the opportunity. It's been amazing to see how God has changed my heart and has grown my relationship in Him. I have learned so much by serving in the youth group, and have been blessed to be a part of it. East Lanier was not only my employment, but has become my family. Each of the families has impacted my life and invested in me in ways I never would have imagined.

While i'm sad this phase is over and sad to say goodbye, I am incredibly thankful for how richly God has blessed me to be able to go to Kenya this summer and serve in Kibera. Hello Africa! God's love truly is extravagant, and I'm feeling it! How blessed I am to be a child of the living God! I can't believe it's only a week until I leave. Please be praying for me as I get ready to pack and leave the friends and family I love and get out of my comfort zone. The amazing thing is that I won't be going alone, but I have a community of believers behind me supporting me and praying for me and the other interns!  I can't wait to see what God is going to do in my life, and how He is going to use me and the other interns to further His kingdom this summer.

As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.

Isaiah 66:13

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. 

Matthew 28:20
