Hey there!

I just went for my morning run a little bit ago and spent some time praying for the costa rica team and when I got back I read Amy's blog and it was so encouraging! It sounds to me like things are going great down there. The mayor of the town is a Christian, which is way cool. They have had an excellent turn out each night. I loved to hear about the dancing and worshiping our father in the different languages. Just think how cool it would be to be God and understand EVERY language ever spoken. AWESOME!

Today I ask that you all pray for Amy, her mom, and the other women speaking in the woman's conference today. Pray that God speak through them with his words and not their own. Pray for courage to speak and know that God is just using them as his tool to these desperate women.

On another note, Bo! its so good to hear from you and know you are alive! You are awesome my friend and I hope that you are still enjoying the trail. Prayers are being prayed for you and your friends daily. I cannot wait to hear even more stories when you get back. I cannot remember if I said this already, but i heard you were moving to Greenbriar Ridge and if that is true, then we will be neighbors, well, in the same complex.

OK I have a request, those of you who read this and have a prayer life.... In 2 weeks I will be going as a counselor on a beach trip with the youth. This will be my first chance to really get close to some of the girls. I am so excited about this, but need prayer that God would fill me with encouragement and the strength to be there for these girls.

You guys are great and I know some of you hate that I am posting on here and not facebook or myspace, but sorry. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

next step

Well, new news first....

I am going to be attending UT in the fall for sure (today). I haven't signed up for classes yet and don't get to until August 18th, but hey God's in control right!?

I am still working on moving into a new apartment and God is blessing me with my new roommate as well as great christian friends to walk with me on my journey.

I am not going to say much right now but jsut thought I would update about school.


Please be in prayer for the team from my church in Costa Rica right now. God is moving in mighty ways down there!

Also, several others are out of the country right now, or spread across the country doing missions. Pray diligently the God will continue to move through them and bring more people into his kingdom!
