Hello friends! I cannot believe I have been on project for two weeks already! It has flew by but also seems like we have been here for a long time! This week was a fast one and kept us pretty busy. Between working, project activities, and our vision trip to NYC, it has been crazy! Last Sunday, I was able to share my testimony with the church here in Seaside Park. It was really exciting to be able to share this with others! On Wednesday we had the opportunity to go to New York City on a vision trip to see what God is doing in the city and to hear about the plans to plant a stint team in order to reach the multitudes of people who live in this incredible city. I had a great time seeing NYC for the first time and experience the pace and culture of this city. We had the opportunity to talk to students about the spiritual climate of NYC along with sharing what we are doing. Two other girls and I talked to two PhD students from New York University who were international students from China. They were super friendly and we were able to talk about our beliefs and introduce them to what CRU/Bridges is about. This conversation and day in the city really challenged me to think of NYC as a place with people than just a huge city.

This week’s theme is Thirsting for Him. The week has really emphasized spending time with God and getting to know Him more. Honestly, it has been really challenging with my schedule this week. This week I was really convicted of something I was doing. As I am continuing to trust God to provide the remainder of my project support, I have been trying to make a backup plan. I have been trying to make other plans to cover support. Here is where I was convicted: If I am fully trusting God, I do not need a backup plan. God has a plan. As a person I constantly try to be prepared, make plans, and rely on myself to solve my problems. This week I was pretty convicted of this sin in my life. Learning to fully trust God through the process of support raising has been the most stretching thing so far on project. It is not easy. It is not fun. But it is possible. Please pray with me as I continue to strengthen my trust in the Lord. Pray that I do not depend on my own strength to come up with funds and continue to be convicted and filled with the Holy Spirit.
I really want to challenge you. What kind of backup plans do you make just in case if God does not come through?
With Blessings,
Heather
