Hi! I have made it into the blogging world. ☺ For many of my friends and family reading this first post, it will be information that you already heard, but I’m going to write it anyway!
God blessed me with being able to serve Him in Romania in 2005 and in 2007. I went with a team from my church and we worked with Livada Orphan Care. We spent our time doing day and weeklong camps for the orphans in Livada’s care and in state care.
I have had a few friends that have interned for the entire summer there, and I have always thought I would love to do it. Well, after a lot of prayer and thinking this past year I applied to be a summer 2010 intern. I am so excited that on June 12 I will be flying to Texas for orientation then on June 15 flying to Romania until August 3!!! I have also been blessed and encouraged by the way my financial support has come in completely. Thank you!!!
If you are close to my family and/or read my dad’s blog, you know that this hasn’t been an easy year for us since his cancer diagnosis in October 2009. As unwanted a surprise as it was, God has used it to teach me so much about his faithfulness, love, and the power of prayer. My dad has told me that he still wants me to go because my family and I know it is where God wants me this summer.
All that to say, prayer support is the most important form of support I need this summer. I am asking you all to please spend some time praying for me and everyone involved with Livada this summer. Some specific ways you can be praying for me are:
1) If you know me well, you know I am not a fan of airplanes. Pray that God will give me a peace and strength to trust fully in Him to keep me safe.
2) Pray for me and the six other interns. Pray that we will bond quickly and work together well! Also pray for the Livada staff in America, Romania, and the short-term teams coming to help. Pray for their safety and that they will have a passion to see God work.
3) Pray for the kids we will be teaching in camp this year. Pray that their hearts will be open to the Lord and to us as their leaders.
4) Lastly, pray that I will be constantly drawn to the Lord, continually trust in Him, and that I will always remember to be joyful because of what he has done for me (well, all of us!)
I’m not sure how often I will be able to update this because I’m sure I’ll be busy! However, I will have computer access almost daily I’m just not sure for how long.
Isus te iubeste si eu iubesc!!
