I shudder to think how many miles I've travelled over the last few months, but thankful that God has protected me along the way. I was so blessed to see a former student's graduation from college just a few weeks ago. Courtney attended last year's Tribeca summer project and was one of the girl's I discipled on project. She's now teaching British Lit and Theater to high school students.


Julie, pictured above, is a student I've done some phone discipleship with over the last year and gotten to hang out with a few times. She is a Theater student at Winthrop University in South Carolina and is incredibly gifted. She's written some amazing scripts, received awards for directing, and for lead actor. God really put her on my heart last year as her story is very similar to mine in some ways. Pray for her, she's coming to New York City with me this summer and this will be a huge step for her. Since deciding to go on the project, her mother has disowned her. However, in the process, she's discovered that she has several family members she's never met who are strong believers, and are financially supporting her to go to New York!

Just last weekend, I had an opportunity to take a vacation for the first time in a long time and chose to head to San Diego to visit one of my best friends. She and I met while staffing the Chicago Inner City summer project four years ago. We had a great time, watched Prince Caspian in its premiere, and went surfing! I came out with only minor injuries. Note to self-avoid rocks.


I'm in Florida now and spoke at Mrs. Lawson's Sixth Grade class at First Christian Academy. They are a great bunch of kids with great questions. This week was spiritual emphasis week for them and they've been talking about being firm believers in Christ.

Anyways, that's all for now, getting ready for New York and trying to figure out how to keep my bags under 50 pounds. Couldn't I just fedex myself?
