CAN'T WAIT to hug this boy... what an incredible picture of God's beauty they all are.

2 Corinthians 5: 13-15

"If we are 'out of our mind,' as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."

Just a verse that stuck out to me while I was reading yesterday. Mhmm :) I believe God has something huge for this summer. Something new, incredible, and refreshing in store. I am so thankful for my Savior - he doesn't need me to carry out his work, but he loves me, has a desire to know me, and allows me to serve him and have a part of working on his masterpiece of which I can only see a tiny speck right now.

Things here in Dallas are great, we all fly to Romania on Saturday (except for the eighth intern, Jen, who is in/from England. She's meeting us there!) It is clear that God has worked in the craziest, yet most beautiful and unique ways to bring all 8 of us to be on this team.

Please be praying for us as we continue to prep and be oriented for the summer, it can be information overload and it isn't hard to get consumed by tasks and lose sight of our main purpose: to further Christ's kingdom and the children and teenagers we are ministering to.

For our intern team - Samantha, Julia, Heather, Jen, Austin, Justin, Andrew and I, that we will have unity and will continue to be an encouragement to one another.

For the Livada (Fundatia LOC) staff and volunteers in the US and in Romania preparing for camp this summer - that they will continue to seek and trust the Lord about every detail.

For the hearts of over 500 kids we will see this summer to be loved and fed, spiritually and emotionally. May they truly see and taste the love of God.

For me to constantly seek, and want to seek, God's glory above my own and will be a servant - to the kids and to everyone I come into contact with.

Also, that I (and all of the interns) will make time to spend alone with our Savior and be refreshed.

Vedem în curând, România!
