winding down... winding up...

it's such a strange season. wrapping up at the church, saying goodbye to my youth - many of which will be moving on and out of youth/burlington. it's been bitter sweet for sure.... excited about newness and freshness - both in the summer and in the fall - but definitely am gonna miss sharing life with these kids.

slowly im wrapping things up at the square for the summer, and checking things off my 'to do list'. i think this week it will become more and more real as i work on more mexico preparations.

i've felt so encouraged by such a community of supporters... brothers and sisters in christ, who are so excited for me. it's helped me, in turn, get more excited too. not everyone is called to travel to another country to serve, and in many cases it's not even always the more effective and efficient use of resources - however, im feeling called and know that part of it is about my personal journey, learning, and sheer adventure of it all. but it's so cool to see how although im going on the actual trip, there are so many people apart of this mission. people supporting me financially, thru prayers, and encouragement. what a blessing it is to be apart of the family of God...
