I just arrived at Oxford, and I must say that it is really nice to be here. As we got settled into our dorms, and went through a quick orientation of how our weeks stay would look like, I started to get really excited.
Taking a break from the last semester and struggling to pass the CSETs really hit me pretty hard. Probably the roughest time that I've had, the past 6 months were. But looking at all my classmates and even just being able to be here really has given me a rejuvenated spirit.
I'm excited!! Thank you for all your support and prayers!

Europe
I'm on my last leg of the Europe trip, and God has truly shown me many things and grown me. I'm super thankful for Redeemer's CBR and the way it has kept be grounded and focused on the things that really matter.
We, as christians, must not be dependent on any one thing or person, because when we place our trust in these lofty ideas and ever failing people, our idea of God becomes skewed. But when we place our trust in Him and allow his joy to become our strength, thats when we have truly straightened out our priorities.

church family
Today I randomly started to think how much I miss, and will miss Redeemer during my trip.
The day I left California for the east coast I stopped by staff meeting to say my farewells. After sharing about my trip, what I was going to be doing, and where I was going, Hunter prayed me. Then they prayed for me, the men of our staff all came to give me hugs, I seriously am so blessed to be in the presence of these people.
I never saw this entire trip as a mission trip, but the more I look at it, and the more I talk to others about it, I found that the way I act and behave through this trip can serve as a testament to the faith that I profess.
I'm actually really nervous that I'm going to be leaving the U.S. in two days. I'm nervous and actually a little scared. I know that God is with me and that I really need to trust Him. I wonder why it is so hard to trust even though He's carried me through so much.
