Ocean City is coming up incredibly fast. Only 8 more days! I am beyond excited! I seriously cannot wait to see what God does this summer in Ocean City, NJ! I have been preparing my heart for this summer by spending lots of time in the Word and in prayer. I am excited to see how much my relationship with God grows this summer and to experience my faith being stretched.
In the last few months, I have been praying about what God wants me to work on this summer. About a week ago, my friend Aubrey told one of our Cru staff members, Christina, that she wanted to fall in love with Jesus this summer. WHOA!! I was blown away by that powerful statement! It made me start thinking even more about what God wanted me to work on this summer. I started intensely praying about it, and God supplied an answer!
I am going to be extremely honest. I am scared of dying. I think a lot of people are. They are scared of the unknown, but we rarely talk about it. I hate that I am scared of death! I love Jesus with my whole heart, and I know He commands believers to not be scared of death. I have assurance in my faith, and the fact is that I know, to a certain extent, what awaits me after I die. I am tired of being scared of something I shouldn't be scared of. I am tired of thinking so much about me. I WANT TO LONG TO SEE MY SAVIOR!! I want to be pained by the fact that I have to wait to see my Lord face to face until I die. I want to passionately tell others about the assurance they can also have by asking Jesus to be in control of their lives! That is what I am going to work on this summer. I am going to work on falling more in love with Jesus, longing to see Him, understanding the importance to always share your faith, and to stop fearing death!! Because of Jesus, death has no hold on me!
God is continually working in my life, and I am so grateful. Currently, I am $400 away from being fully supported for Ocean City Summer Project 2013. If you can in any way help me reach my final goal. Please email me by clicking here or support me online by clicking here. If you would like to know more about what I am doing this summer and/or how you can help, please email me or call me. I would love to talk to you!! I leave in 8 days, and I am trusting that God will provide the funds. Praise the Lord for everyone who has already supported me and $3,350 that has already come in!!
