support system..

I am really learning about the significance of having a good support system. A really good tight nit group that I know will always be there for me and I will always be there for them... please pray that I am able to find the support system needed quickly as I enter into college..

Jenna

Did you all know that God is good?? Because He is!! He has been working in one of my close friends here at Port. It has been amazing because God has been able to use my past experiences and past mistakes to really hit Jenna in a way that only people with similar experiences can feel. Her heart is slowly being broken, which is a lot better than being frozen as it was. I would ask that you would pray for her. She is realizing many things that she needs to change in her life, and as we all know the act of taking action and actually doing something to bring about the changes is very difficult. Pray that God gives her the strength and the courage to do the things that she doesn't necessarily want to do but knows she must. Thank you, God, for working all things for good.. to bring you glory and honor!

Prayer Requests for my upcoming Mission Trip

I would just really like to ask you all to begin praying with me for my upcoming mission trip with my classmates at Portantorchas. Pray for even more unity within the student body, for a godly and service attitude as we begin preparations for the trip. Also pray that God will use us in the changing of the lives of those who live in Fortuna (the town we are going to). It is a town heavy with homosexuality, drugs, and just plain old sin like anywhere.

I would also like to ask if you can join us in prayer for Don Alvaro and his family. He has had 2 heart attacks and 1 stroke and can no longer walk. He lives in a tin "house" with a dirt floor. He has no bathroom and just has a whole in the floor about 30 feet from his "house" where he has to literally drag himself to every night. We are praying that we can raise enough money to be able to build him a somewhat more decent home with a bathroom. Thank you for your prayers! I will keep you updated on our fundraising and everything else that has to do with my life :). God Bless!

Mission Trip Planning

Please pray for 5 other students, 1 leader, and myself as this weekend we are going on a planning trip. We will be going to go for the weekend to the town we are going to go on our mission trip to plan a few things and decide exactly what we are going to do. Pray for safety in our travels, that we are able to make wise decisions, and that above all we honor and glorify God in all that we do.

Prayer

This has to be a quick blog since i leave for Costa Rica in around 5 hours. I would just like to ask for your prayers for my family. As transition, changing, growing up is proving itself to be harder than ever expected.
