Big Day is Here

In a few hours my teammate, Janae, and I will be in the Kansas City airport boarding the plane on our way to Chicago, then to Munich and eventually end up in Genoa, Italy early afternoon on Monday, June 1. I must say that I have butterflies and excitement welling up inside me!

The last few days we have been in Kansas City getting more familiar with Avant and it has been an incredible time of growth, learning, and preparation with 5 other girls who are also doing internships with Avant this summer. I wish I could share on here all that we have learned in the sessions we've had, but alas, I want people to come back here and read what I update, so that means I should keep these updates short! :)

The key thing is flexibility. I have heard it over and over again from so many people and that must be what God wants me to know right now. I may not know anything else, but that's ok. If I'm flexible, that's ok! The other thing has been to remember what God has done in the past and what He has done to get me where I am today. I also have been learning to listen to people and be slow to speak.

Please be praying for Janae and I as we leave for Italy tomorrow (well actually today by the time most people read this!).

Also be in prayer for the other interns who we have all grown close to in the last few days:

Charity in Spain
Michaela in Argentina
Jessica in Prague
Brittany in Kansas City

Pray that God would use us and teach us much, also be praying for Satan to not have any foothold in our lives, hearts, and minds as we go out and that we would be on our guard ready to fight in the battle. Pray also that God would confirm in our lives what He wants us to do next and show us our gifts and how to better use those gifts for His service.

Thank you for your partnership in this adventure! He is faithful!
