What? When? Why?

Today, it finally hit me that I will be spending my first summer totally away from home. I am packing up, and leaving town for Brooklyn, New York. Though I have known about this for over a month now, it never really sunk in, until now. I am going to Brooklyn, I will be living there, and I can't wait.

As I said earlier, over a month ago I applied for a summer internship with Student.Go (A super awesome organization that allows college students to truly make a difference). I applied for the position at CLUE camp ministries in Brooklyn, New York. This camp, is essentially a day camp for children in Brooklyn who live in poverty. I was accepted for the position and I couldn't be happier.

Why am I doing this? The honest answer is, my faith in Jesus Christ, and my want to follow His example set in Matthew 25. I want to love "the least of these." and beyond that, I am called to love them. I am passionate about service, and in my core I know that I am meant for a life of ministry. This summer is only just the beginning.

In this little corner of the web I hope to provide timely updates about my time in Brooklyn. I still have a little more than a month before I depart, so in the meantime, It is just going to be stories about my preparation, and absolutely random posts! (If I bore you, I apologize)

There you have it,
