~Alaska~

Alaska is in like 4 days! I'm super excited to be going on this mission trip, but also to grow closer to my students & see how God can work through us! What a tremendous opportunity we have!

Last Day!

Today is our last official day of school. I just want to breathe a sigh of relief at all of it - I mean, we did it. We survived, and not only did we survive, but we're growing - by leaps, in fact. We have 15 registered for next school year; two completely new students (meaning, not coming to us by way of Veritas), and I fully expect to have at least a few more by the end of the summer.

It's amazing to me what one step out in faith can do in your life. I have learned so incredibly much, about me and about my level of faith. Its one thing to say sure, I believe in God... I have faith in Him... I know He will take care of me, but when the opportunity presents itself to actually take a leap of faith - do you do it? Most people don't. They're content. There's something to be said for that contentment. The security of knowing that you will have a paycheck, the ability to pay your bills, live, etc. Then again...

There is something so empowering about signing your own paycheck. Knowing that the decisions are on you. Knowing that you are the vessel to put into place the vision that God gave you. Pretty flippin awesome.

Year one, in the books.

North to Alaska

In about 20 days, I will be heading off to Alaska for a week-long mission trip with four of my students and two other adults. The last time I actively went on a mission trip was the three-month long internship with ACMNP in the Grand Canyon. I'm so, so, SO excited to be going to Alaska!

Please pray for our Alaska Mission Team as we prepare for the trip and the hearts of the people there.
