WOW! It is already March 2013! The weather is finally starting to show welcomed signs of spring; sunny days, longer daylight hours, melting snow, and  muddy roads. =) Yes, I am excited for spring however I am even more excited for summer! In just three months I will be headed across the Atlantic to Romania for the summer! Yes, I said 'for the summer'! I plan to stay in Romania and work with the same missionary our team worked with last June. Our trip in June was a two week trip with a large number of team members. This summer I plan to stay for three months and travel with a much smaller group! I am very excited to see what God has planned for me and the ministry this summer. I've struggled to fall in love with classroom teaching the way I thought I would. I plan to take this summer as an experience and see what God might have planned for my future. As June gets closer each and every day I get more and more excited! Along with all of this excitement are some nerves too. Traveling across the world and staying for an extended length of time is a bit scary. I am praying for peace and trusting God to take away all of my nervousness.

Philippians 4:6 'Never worry about anything. Instead, in every situation let your petitions be made known to God through prayers and requests, with thanksgiving.'
