Thanksgiving time.

Thanksgiving this year was really cool for me - the morning atleast.. It was different.
It started early with an arrival at a park in Fullerton to prepare foods to serve the local homeless a nice breakfast. It was really rewarding for me to sacrifice some sleep and spend some time towards something worth while. It was really awesome of David (friend from church) to put together such an awesome meal for so many people. Panera was really great in donating a ton of food!

If you haven't heard yet.. I am moving to Las Vegas, Nevada.
You might know that I have a passion for ministry with girls/women who are hurting, in need of real love and a real relationship with God. For somewhere around 4 years I've been stoked about what xxxchurch.com has been doing to make a difference in people's lives, the Kingdom and anyone they come across. Up until recently it's been something I pray about and for, stories I read up on and something that gets me excited; but thanks so God's leading and opening and closing of doors I realized it was time to actually pursue that passion. 

So I applied for an internship.

I feel stupid but I was totally nervous not knowing what would happen and where exactly God was leading me. 

But I am so Thankful and excited to say that as of January 5th, 2009 I will be living in Las Vegas (where x3 recently moved) to be apart of ministry that is revolutionary yet totally where Jesus went and would be. I am not sure how everything will pan out but I am so excited to get involved, grow, be stretched, love, learn and live out my faith and passion. I feel unequipped in many ways but am trusting and listening to God with all the fears, questions, joys, anxieties. 

On November 14th xxxchurch had a vision night to share with everyone who came out from all over and I was there. It was my first trip to Vegas since early high school and my first time meeting 3 of my 4 future roommates a long with other team members. Time is passing so quickly and I will be there soon and while that makes me nervous I am ready to dive in to my hearts calling. Ok, more words than I usually write - a lot going on in my head and heart!
