I'm really excited about my year-long internship next summer to Mexicali! Mom and I are going out there next month to meet with the team and hash out the details. It is a continual struggle to not worry or be fearful about it though. I know God has called me to this internship, but I feel ill equipped and get home-sick thinking about a whole year away from all that's familiar. I know He is faithful and will give me the grace to persevere, yet I feel sure I will be terribly lonely at times. But I am convinced that if it brings me to a closer walk with my Jesus, it will be all worth it. God is doing great things along the border for His kingdom and am thankful to be a part of it!

"For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increading in the knowledge of God..." Col. 1:9 & 10
