uganda.

Hi friends:

I'm starting posting back up because this summer I'll be going to Uganda with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF). I want people to be able to follow all the things Jesus is doing and will do through this whole crazy process as I get ready to go. So here's the break down:

• I'm leaving May 28, 2011 and returning July 3, 2011.
  
• I'll be going along with 12 other team members from New England IVCF schools.
• We'll be working with several efforts helping impoverished children.
• I'M SO EXCITED! But I'm also terrified.
  

I just finished my first semester in college, and I can't begin to tell you all the things God did in my life during that time. He taught me so many different things, but I feel like the biggest thing He taught me was that selfishness really doesn't help anything. It was really hard to learn that - because as a college student, it feels like everything is supposed to be about ME! But it shouldn't be, and I am seeing that more and more every day. It's a very hard thing to grasp, and it's even harder to live like it's true. Here are a couple verses that have been super important to me over the past several months:

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:2-3

I hope that you'll join me on this journey and stay updated on all that's going on! I'll be posting my support letter soon, so keep an eye out for that, too!

In Him,

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 3:1-3
