support update









I received my first support update from eMi today!  It's so exciting to see this dream start to become a reality.  I'm so blessed to have so many people in my life who love me and who love God!

If you've already donated - thank you so much!  I'm so grateful for your generosity.  If you'd like to donate -  click here and put my name in the designation box.

I'm still anxiously awaiting word on which project trip I'll be a part of this summer... so excited!

I have a prayer request - I've encountered some logistical challenges regarding my French visa for next semester.  Right now it looks like I will have to take a weekend trip back to Chicago this summer to appear at the French consulate.  Pleas pray that there is another solution and/or everything works out!

Also, you can now follow my blog by email!  Right under my picture there is a box where you can enter your email address, and my updates will automatically be sent to you.

starting the journey


Stuffing envelopes.  Praying that God will provide!

Meanwhile, my excitement keeps growing.  I have a feeling that God is going to completely rock my world this summer.  And I couldn't be more excited.

designing a world of hope.

I'm sitting in the lounge on this sunny Chicago day (it's always sunny in Chicago) feeling like an official eMi intern for the very first time.  The front of my shirt reads: "designing a world of hope."

Even as I'm trucking my way through midterms, I'm so excited to embark on this journey with eMi.  It's a dream come true in so many ways.

I'll be starting in Colorado Springs on May 24th.  As of right now I'm still anxiously awaiting news about my project trip.  I know that it will be a (roughly) 10 day trip to a developing country, but other than that, I have no clue.  But I am so full of excitement, knowing that anywhere I go will be a life changing experience.
