Mixed Emotions

Today is my last day at home and that will be devoted to packing and hanging out with my family. It's hard to believe my 2 1/2 weeks is already coming to an end. This time at home has been much different then most and I have really enjoyed being here. I have spent as much time as possible with my family. They have all been at work or in school, but that leaves me a few hours during the day to work on my classes, run, get organized, and catch up with friends. I've also loved seeing my cousins and grandparents a few times while I've been home.

It's hard to imagine what life is like for my family when me and my sister are both gone all school year. It definitely makes us value the times we are home together. Unfortunately it rarely happens when all 5 of us are home, having 4 of us at a time is considered a "special event!"

Tomorrow, I leave for Joplin, MO to start my internship. While it will be tough to say goodbye to my family for 3 months, I'm also ready to get started and see what God wants to do in and through me this summer. This is an incredible opportunity and I am praying we can help thousands of highschoolers across the country experience God in a personal way this summer.

Here is my summer schedule:

Joplin, MO May 23-June 8

Durango, CO June 9- July 2

Joplin, MO July 2-July 7

Cleveland, TN July 8-July 28

Joplin, MO July 29-August 12

I'll try and keep this updated for those of you who want to know what all I'm doing :)
