As I've come to find out, NOTHING is too hard or complicated for our God!
The last few weeks have been a test of my faith in the provision of God. As I continued to trust Him, He was faithful to provide me little by little evidence of His care over this step of my life. I've met my goal for my trip!
I also have found out WHERE I'll be going!
I will be teaching English in the city of Cherepovets at the Yantar' (Amber) Youth Camp. Cherepovets is the largest city in Vologda Oblast, Russia located on the bank of the Rybinsk Reservoir of the Sheksna River, a tributary of the Volga River. It boasts a population of over 300,000. Just from what I've been reading online about my destination, there is much to look forward to in what God will do!
I'm less than a month away from this experience, and there is still much to do before I go.
Praying that God will continue to bless as I prepare for what's to come!
Stay tuned

Your life is not your own
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."-James 4:13-15
With the events of this past week, I'm quite reminded of the fact that life is all in God's hands. Tornadoes coming close to home, not once but twice in a week; flooding creeks and rivers make me aware of the brevity of my own life. God has been merciful to this point in my life in so many ways. I look forward to his future grace and mercy in Russia.
When I check my online account status, I am surprised at the grace of God in providing for this journey. I shouldn't be surprised at how he provides, but He amazes me at the extent of His kindness.
I know for sure that there will be life long lessons for me to learn this summer as well as an opportunity to be a blessing.
God is so good!
