LA here I come!!!

It is starting to sink in a little bit, but I get to go to Los Angeles, the second biggest city in America in 3 days. I don't know if LA is ready for me yet. I have been thinking and praying for the trip and I am starting to get excited. Maybe it is because I get to have a postive impact on planning it as they have asked me to track down some of the financial details from the school. I have gotten at least $100 and maybe more from Religious Relations. The van ride will be fun... I can say that now, as my but is not sore yet from sitting and doing nothing, but I am really excited for the conversations and to be with the people in the van.

The group found out yesterday that we will be meeting Chad Johnson in Reading, CA at Bethel Christian Center. I am pumped for that, as Chad is one of my spiritual mentors and I would call him a really good friend. He will drive with us to Fresno, CA where we will be staying at his new church and ministering at their Sunday morning youth service. I can't wait to see him, but more than that I really can't wait to get to Reading and go to the prayer house at Bethel. I was there last year and, yeah, it was cool, but I am in a much different place with my prayer life now and I know God is going to show up in a really cool way... Not to say that I don't meet with Him here but I know that Bethel church has an annointing for prayer and I can't wait to be a part of that.

I am honestly more excited to be with the people on the trip than to minister to the people on the street. I told Emily Stratton that I want to be the number one support for her and James as they lead the trip because I feel my role is to minister to the people on the trip and seek the Lord for them. I know that the rest will take care of itself!

Pictures coming soon of my Mohawk, because I need to get my hair cut!
