The Last Month in Pictures!

After a Spring away from home, getting back to the south for a week was much needed! My little brother  (Brandon) graduated from high school and will be attending Samford University in the fall on a track scholarship! I was greatly inspired by how much of an impact he made at his high school, on his track team, and in his youth group… Can't wait to see the mark he leaves on the rest of the world!!! So proud of this little…Now big guy! 

In the middle of family time so great friends came to visit and we began our road trip (Topher's 1st road trip ever!) to Clemson South Carolina! These are two of the greatest/ most influential people I have ever gotten the pleasure of knowing! (Hannah & Topher)

Pit stop in the ATL to watch the Braves play and meet up with the best Southern college group we had!!! What a good time of reuniting and tomahawk chopping! 

So we may have failed epically at documenting our tip actually at Clemson. But it was full of frisbee playing, contra dancing, playing cards, catching up and lots of laughing! Over all very successful trip!

Back to La! After a quick trip home I got back on a plane to go back to LA! We got brand new summer staff who are amazing, silly, and love Jesus with all their hearts! The new faces are Chris from Texas, Alisha from Cali, Desera from Virginia, and Chelsea from Florida! 

Summer started really fast and has been super busy! We have groups every week who come Sunday and leave Saturday. Doesn't leave much room for sleep but its all worth it to see these younger students getting to know God more through serving his City!
(Above is a few of my girls from Menlo Park((home of Google!!!)) Making mustaches with me at dinner! Thank you all for introducing me to Call Me Maybe!)

These are some of the greatest high school students I have ever met!  They came all the way from Ohio! Despite a few road blocks in our trip they overcame and inspired me in ways they will never know! I miss them already! 

Not only were they great on their mission trip but they took me to Warner Brothers Studios where we saw the set of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Pretty Little Liars, and tons of Harry Potter stuff!!! Thank you again for blessing me so much!

The day after Warner Brothers the girls decided to take a random trip to DinseyLand!!!!!! WAHOOooo!!! Such a great day celebrating first time visits, my birthday, and the magic of Disney!!! 

I have the greatest staff ever! They threw me a surprise birthday party on our night off! Catch Phrase and Taboo! 

God is teaching more then I could ever expect through the kids I get to play with here in LA.  God really does use the small, the weak, the poor, the lowly to bring glory to his kingdom! I love these kids so much it will be super tough to leave them in August!

Just some other things God has been teaching me :) Im excited for the fall, for the future, and just for life! So much joy in my soul!

Last but not least! This place has been on my mind more then ever . Looking forward to the day that God tells me its time!

"The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork."
Psalm 19:1
