I am finally in Ocean City, NJ!! I arrived a week ago on Tuesday night, and it has been quite an adventure since. Currently only the semester students and staff are here so our project is definitely not complete. I can't wait for the quarter students to arrive! Right now we have a little over 70 students and 35 staff.
The first week was filled with training, introductions, sharing on the boardwalk, games, and job hunting. It was a long and very packed week but such a blessing. I believe around 8 to 10 people have accepted Christ to be their personal savior so far. God is definitely at work.
So what has God been teaching me? God has definitely been helping me understand that He is crazy about me and nothing I do can make Him love me any more or any less. It seems simple, and I have known this concept for a long time, but it has really been sinking in this last week. A verse from this last week that stuck out is Psalm 73:25b "There is nothing on earth that I desire besides you." This has been my prayer as I have started summer project. I want to LONG to see Jesus more than I want or desire anything or anyone else. I can definitely say that I am on the way to experiencing this. God is definitely at work in my heart, and I can't wait to want Him more than I want anything else. I can't wait for Him to daily become greater and for me to daily become less (John 3:30).

| I was incredibly blessed to get a job at Clancy's By the Sea on the very first day of project. I am a server , and I love it so far. The restaurant is less than 5 minutes from where I am staying and right on the boardwalk. I am looking at the beach in this picture. |
