Great is His Faithfulness!

As the old hymn says:

"Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness! 
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!"
It's so true! God continually, and faithfully pardons our sins, gives us peace, provides for our every need, and it's because of HIM that "blessings all ours, with then thousand beside!"
I praise God because He has faithfully provided, not only for my trip, but for my education, and my up-bringing. But more valuable than all of this, more than any physical or material gift he could give us, is the gift of Salvation. This gift not only gives us eternal security with Him, but it frees us from the bondage of our sin. Christ's blood, that was shed on the cross, cleans us from all impurities and because of His sacrifice, our debt is payed. 
For this alone, He deserves our unending praises!

One Month!

Exactly one month from today I leave for Naron, Spain! It's been great seeing how God has put this whole thing together! I've had the privilege of talking to the two other young ladies that are joining me for my three months this summer. We are all very excited about this trip and would appreciate your prayers.
A couple things that have come to mind to pray for:

  1. Safety in travels
  2. That He would teach us
  3. That we would grow closer to Him
  4. That this might show us more of what we should do later on.

I also wanted to thank you all for your prayers. God has been so good to surround me with friends and family who have prayed for me and continue to do so. He has also been so faithful, and I praise Him for providing all that I have needed up to this point, and I will continue to praise Him as I watch Him bringing in the rest of the funds.
Again, Thank you everyone
Christina.
