I'm here for a reason

It's so weird that there's so much going on here.

I think God has definitely been showing me I'm here for a reason.
Or many reasons.

I'm just so glad that even though its hard and challenging and everything,
I am confident in my trust in God's plan for me.

Praying and praying. I feel like i'm turning into a prayer warrior.
Which i want to be. Please pray for our project unity and outreaches everyday.


Oh, Hampton Beach.

Welcome to Hampton Beach! :)

WOW. Has it been almost two weeks already?!
Being in Hampton Beach is nothing like I expected.
I actually don't even know if I had expectations at all.
I just know that God was leading me here to give up my summer to Him and ask Him to use me to share my love and my faith for Him. I will try to blog and update often so if you're interested, I would love to hear comments, questions, prayers and anything else!!! especially love! :)

THE WHITE GULL.
This is our home for the summer for all 42 students and some staff members! It's cozy and i'm in love with it already!I feel like i've made so many new friends and that we'e definitely known each other for more than just a little less than 2 weeks! There are 3 floors and I live upstairs in the "penthouse" sharing a room with Camellia, Jen and Kelsey! :) It's like a mini apartment with a balcony and our own kitchen an living room. We also have a lobby that the whole house hangs out in and gets to know each other!!

PROJECT.
So, I guess like many, I knew I was going to be here to grow my faith and share my faith with others but God has already been blowing me away like crazy. We've been so busy with hardly any time to relax, but I love it. Everyone's been job hunting and getting to know each other, grocery shopping and working on continuing support. (Thank you for my supporters, please let me know if God is leading you to support if you haven't already or support even more because I have not reached my required amount for this summer yet! Trusting in God.) But we also have a jampacked schedule like everyday with things to do! On Monday nights we have a weekly team meeting, then other nights we have community groups where we do outreaches, have Bible studies and have fellowship time. We also have women's time night which is my favorite because we really get to learn and spend time with God and hearing about His word how to be women of God, and women that God made us to be. It's a good reflection time also to spend time with Him to get to know Him better and just be in His word. The Bible is so awesome, if you haven't spent a lot of time reading it, just flip it open and I just encourage you to read anything!! It'll blow you away how well God knows us and what we're going through and how He teaches us how to live in the best way.

BOSTON DAY.
We also went to Boston to talk to people and meet people and see the city! It was awesome. On the T - which is the train, I got to talk to a nice lady Rosa about life and she was so thankful for the conversation, it was soooo cute.

MY NEW JOB.
Dunkin' Donuts all the way!! Another important part of our project is to learn how to minister and witness to people we work with in the workplace, so we get jobs to also meet people and learn about others and just love on people. Which I love. I love Dunkin Donuts! I've met so many new people and they're a lot of fun!! It's mindblowing how God has been using me already to just have spiritual conversations at all. Sometimes I feel like it's hard or awkward but it's really not. I love to share what makes me who I am today, being a follower of Jesus and believing He died for our sins so that we can live and know God. I've met Rachel who I can't wait to hang out with! And also went lobster shopping with my co-worker Jo. Then I got to share lobster with the house!

The people here are awesome. I love it. I don't know what exactly God has in store for me but I know that I am growing closer to Him with each day and it is what I desire with all my heart. Thank you for being a part of my team and reading my updates. Please help me pray for my focus to remain on Jesus and how amazing He is. Also to not get distracted and just for my heart to continue to break for the lost, as Jesus says He is the way, the truth and the life. Please pray for God to watch over and heal my friend Robyn who is not well and to be with her in comfort. Please pray for God to be present here in Hampton Beach and move people's hearts for Him.

Love from Hampton!
