Tuesday, June 20th, 11:45 PM - CALIFORNIA!!!

I am back to California safe and sound. Yup, I've been here for over two weeks now. Thank you so much for your prayers throughout the last five months and for safety in traveling. Everything went very smoothly... including the coffe frap. from Starbucks I was gulping down at the Honolulu airport.

I am already very much back into the swing of things here for the most part. To be perfectly honest I felt as though there was no culture shock at all. What has been hard is that I've come back to lives that seem to be five months ahead of me - all the changes and things that happened when I wasn't here. It has been surpringsly difficult for me to adjust in that respect. And then I feel ridiculous trying to get into a new flow of things when I know that very soon (Lord willing) I'm just going to go right back into the swing of things in Chuuk again - and this time for longer! I thought that my Fall's semester break down of "What do you want me to do, Lord?" was crazy but that doesn't even come close to the feelings I'm having right now. ...Please, continue to pray for me.

God continues to be gracious and I will be sharing the testimony of His work in my life and in Chuuk at CCC on Sunday, June 25th at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If you are interested and would like to know more you may e-mail me.

VBS is getting prepared this week and then running next week.
Saturday, July 1st I leave on a road trip for three weeks.

The only One who's constant is GOD.

The Graciousness of God

Graduation went well and all the other various activities that have been taking place these last few days. Thank you so much for praying.

...

I can't believe I'm flying back to CA in about 18 hours!!!! My flight from TK leaves at 2:25 in the morning. Please, pray that my luggage is not too heavy. Pray that all my flights go smoothly and that I am able to get lots of rest. Pray that my stomach doesn't do weird things because of anxiety. Well, I guess, pray that I'm not anxious. Pray that all my connections are made, my luggage makes it back with me, going through customs isn't a hassle, and that I don't have to get up to use the bathroom on the flight. I'm serious! ...But as my mama wrote to me - if God can care for and protect me out in the uttermost parts, we're sure He can take me back safely too. Oh, how good. :o)

Again, thank you a million times a million for praying for me and God's ministry out here over the past 5 months. It has been a privilege to be held up in prayer by you all. Keep checking back this summer as I hope to update a couple times and give details on God's continued grace towards me.

Praise the Lord!
