A Few Shout Outs
Well, it is obvious that I am quite the amateur when it comes to my blog and I wanted to show you a few blogs that have encouraged me to step up my game and get active in the blog world. These are two amazing and encouraging women that I’ve had the privilege of knowing and befriending. They are two both beautiful women, each newly married, creative, and they love the Lord. Their blogs make me even more excited to enter into the new stage of married life in 8 months (still seems like forever away) as well as sharing my heart and passion for the Lord with those around me!!! Here’s to you ladies:

Minus 2
Well, it is official. The clinic will not approve Lydia for our trip to Cambodia, so my professor will be setting up an internship in the US for Lydia and Everaldo. That leaves our team, a team of 5. Although it is very upsetting and we truly have bonded as a team this past semester, I believe that it is probably better for both Lydia and their baby to not be spending her 2nd trimester in Cambodia. That is a high risk. So please, keep praying for our team as we try to revamp some of our plans and we dwindle into a team of 5. We cannot forget that God is with us not matter how big or small our team; He will do His work through us.
Also please continue to pray for our team members individually. We are all dealing with some very trying issues both in school and personally.
For me, this semester is really racking my brain. I have spent the last 2 days writing a 15+ page paper and I have several papers (with an exegetical paper for the weekend), and a case study project that I am working on, on top of my other classwork. I have spent all of my free time at my computer doing work when I am not in class and it’s really getting to me. Thank you so much. I know that I can push through it all, but I feel very drained and not as focused as I want to be in preparation for Cambodia. There is a lot on my mind and only a month left to get everything together.
Also, we are waiting on our VISAs to come back. Sooner better than later would be wonderful

Cambodia Prayer.
I know that I have not been very diligent with this blog, but I still plan to keep up with it while in Cambodia.
I just wanted to thank everyone for your support for you have helped me to raise the $5000 that I needed for this trip. That is a huge answer to prayer. When it comes to finances I am a very stressed and weary person and God knew that, so He totally took care of me by encouraging you all to help me raise these funds. I have not been stressed at all about Cambodia finances this semester and I am so grateful. For everything else that I have been stressed about, finances is not one that I would have handled well, so again, Thank you all so much! God is so good.
But as far as the rest of my team… Please pray that all the finances come in for my team members and also, please be praying for them by name: Lydia & Everaldo (they found out they were pregnant about a month ago), Corey, GraceAnne, Kristin, and Delilah. Each of us individually have our own needs, so please keep us all in your prayers. Especially Lydia and Everaldo. Yesterday evening, our Department called Lydia informing her that the health clinic would not approve her for this trip because of her pregnancy. She had to put off her internship last summer due to other circumstances, so this is the second time she has heard that she cannot go. She is supposed to graduate when we return from the trip, so pray that if it is God’s will for her to be on this trip (which she and Everaldo feel very strong about) that the doors will open so that she can be cleared to go. This puts a lot of stress on our team as we are just a month away from our departure, but right now we have faith that she is still supposed to be going, so please Pray!!
Again, I appreciate you all for you prayers and will try my best to keep you updated. This is has been my most difficult and trying semester yet and I am just trying to push through. We only have just over 2 weeks of actual classes left, which seems crazy. I am blessed beyond words for an amazing fiancé who has done his best to encourage me through all of this, as well as an awesome family and in-laws. God is good. All the time.
