Anyway, I got to go home for Easter this past weekend and see my family and some of my friends. It was so refreshing to get out of routine and visit them. I also got to share what I am doing this summer with my parents Sunday School class and a few of them were really interested in what I was going to be doing! That was really encouraging to me! Just knowing that some people back in the church that I grew up in are supporting me!
As stated in the title I am 6 weeks out. This is both awesome and not awesome. Its awesome because I will get to start an amazing journey guided by God through His Holy Spirit and I will also get to do something for the first time ever in my life, see/get in/be at an ocean. I know its kinda weird that I am excited to see a giant body of water but to me (or I think it will) how awesome and glorious God is. Just like the song says, "if Love is an ocean we're all sinking" and I cant wait to see how vast and huge and deep and wide God's love for me, for us is! If that doesnt get you excited about seeing some salt water I dont know what will!
I was looking on the summer project website tonight and I saw the verse And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. This Hit hard for me because I have been worrying about my support. I still have about $2500 to raise and only 6 weeks to do it. Thats a ton of money and not a whole lot of time to raise it. But after reading this verse I KNEW I had to take a step back and just let God do what he does best, provide. I mean he does it all the time and I have seeing Him do crazy thinks first hand. So, I am going to start praying about it. Praying A LOT. Because it is in His hands and I know that I am going to be provided for because He infinitely loves me and I know it is His will for me to go on this project this summer. He has shown me that in more ways than one a few times over.
So, I am going to leave with this. Please pray from me and about supporting me and for the 120 others that are coming with me this summer. Some of us, like me have never been on a summer project through Campus Crusade and other have been a ton of times but all of us are going to grow in the Spirit and learn how to love on the people around us in ways that will only show them how much God loves them. Thats what we want to do this summer. Thats what we want to learn and take away and to apply to our lives as we end the summer and go back to school or else where. I hope you have a great (insert time of day) and I hope that God does something radical in your life and I hope that you will let him.
Much love and goodnight,
Chris
