I am anxiously getting excited for Saturday! Move day to KCK! I got all of the info for what our schedule will be this weekend with orientation and getting everything ready to go!
I just got my support update as well. I have $985 left to support. I am praying that the Lord will stir some people in their hearts to help me be fully supported.
ready to leave Lee's Summit suburb and go into the 'hood of KCK.
Now onto packing and cleaning and getting everything ready for a new change!
Continue to pray for Andrew and I's hearts. Pray for our relationship that we will be Holy and Pure and be good examples to the community of KCK. Pray that we will remain in the Lord's favor and continue to be full of His Spirit.
Fighting for the Lord in this dark place!

Birthday!!
So I just had my birthday last Thursday. I honestly thought turning 22 wouldn't be any different than turning 21 and i wasn't super excited for it because I didn't have anything planned. Little did I know that the entire day-from dawn till dusk was going to be packed full of surprises and fun!!
Andrew Surprised me at 7am ---bright and early with a giant Christmas tree, him and a brand new fuji road bike that is awesome! Did I mention that it is BRIGHT YELLOW!---that is my favorite color of all time! He had got it custom built, with brand new paint job and everything. I am so thankful for him. He is such a blessing and such a joy and is very generous. I cried, I laughed and was so overwhelmed with his love! I ended up taking the day easy, visited my dad at his print shop with Andrew, ate lunch and road bikes with my sister and Andrew with my new bike! The bike was SOOO fast. I loved it...I felt like Dave from Breaking away.
Then I went to Loose park where I was surprised with a professional photographer, Andrew's great friend Isaac Bari! He came to take pictures of our matching fuji Bikes! It was the greatest part of the day--it was rainy all day, and then the sun managed to come out as we took pictures, it was beautiful.
The night wasn't over, we ate yummy food at Red Lobster and was sang to by the waiters there. Andrew and I shared some great food and cheesecake to top it off, I was so stuffed...
Then the finale of my birthday started, I was surprised with a huge party with all of our friends at Andrew's apartment and everyone was in on it! I was extremely blessed, there was a great cake for everyone and so many people came. I got some warm birthday wishes and was sung to with worship music and prayed over. I felt so blessed.
I feel so loved and God has certainly blessed me through all of these great people. My life is going great and I am so looking forward to all of the great things that are happening!
Less than 2 weeks till Andrew and I start our internship. God is preparing our hearts and we are getting more and more excited with working to KCK! I am looking forward to this experience and what we will be doing. Continue to pray for this summer and everything that will be going on!

Wild
For the past few days, I have been reading Wild at Heart by John Eldridge and at the same time Andrew is reading Captivating by John's wife, Stasi Eldridge. Learning about each other I think is so great for us especially with our courtship.
The Man's heart is so much different than the woman's heart and figuring out the differences for each other has really helped me serve, encourage, and love Andrew much more.
I have learned the Biblical meaning of masculinity and that my femininity allows men to be men.
I am looking forward to finishing the book and seeing more of Andrew and the other men in my life the way that God created them-WILD!
More on my book list:
My good friend Brooke recommended Waking the Dead also by John Eldridge, I want to finish Redeeming Love, and I want to read again some CS Lewis books that are such classics.
Are there any books that you recommend?
