“Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”  Josh. 1:9

What an awesome God.  He gives us commands… but they’re good ones.  Ones that I want to follow.  I want to get rid of my fear and discouragement, and I want to “Be strong and courageous.”  And how sweet is His promise—His presence, always.

In a little over two weeks, I’ll be flying to Berlin, Germany.  Working with Campus Crusade for Christ, I’m going to do campus ministry with a team of thirteen people.  We’re called STINTers, because we’re doing Short Term INTernational ministry.  I can’t wait to get started.  And I’m so thankful for the promise God’s given—that He will be with me in Berlin.  A year ago, I was hoping that God wouldn’t call me overseas.  But now, I feel totally blessed that He has.  I’m so excited to praise His name in Germany.

Here I’m going to share what’s going on with ministry and life in Berlin.  I’m new at blogging, so you’ll have to bear with me as I learn, but I’m grateful for your interest.  God’s a great God, and I’m praying that He does great things this year!
