That's right folks. 19 days.
I can clearly remember my thoughts and emotions on my 19th day in Kansas; it was something along the lines of, "I really hope I make some friends soon, because I'm tired of watching Netflix."
And now, my thoughts most nights are closer to, "I haven't had time to catch up on my Netflix shows because I'm so busy hanging out with my friends."
I guess life could be worse.
On a more serious note, I am quickly realizing how difficult it will be to leave so many people that I have grown so fond of. When I arrived in Topeka, I prayed that I would grow to love the city and people I would meet so much that it would be difficult to leave. I expected this to take place over a year, but God had other plans and gave me an incredible base of community and fellowship in only 5 months. Praise the Lord.
I had the pleasure of attending a youth retreat with Fellowship Bible Church in Topeka this past weekend, and I am having trouble remembering the last time I had so much fun in one weekend. Everything from (accidentally) running full speed into a river, to watching Kansas stereotypes perpetuate themselves with folk worship on Sunday made this weekend a huge blessing.
The students at FBC, as a whole, impressed me very much. The amount of students in the youth group who are genuinely seeking God, and actively praying for him to move in them and through them is incredible and inspiring. I wish that I had been as serious about my faith at ages 15-18 as these students are. I had the chance to watch some of them worship and pray together like Jesus was real to them, like they were desperately seeking him, like they could not go another day without him speaking to them.
Their honest passion for the Gospel to change them inspired me, and gave me hope for my generation. Shoutout to Nick Strobel, the youth pastor of FBC, for letting God do incredible things through you. The students in your ministry are on fire!! I can't wait to see the places their genuine faith will take them, in Jesus name!
As I prepare to move back to Florida in 19 days, I would ask you to pray for me during this time of transition in a few simple ways:
1. As I shift from working in ministry full-time to working a regular job, please pray that Christ would still be my focus and my goal. I want to bring glory to his name with the work I do, no matter where I am.
2. Pray for my heart, that the changes that have taken place in me during my stay in Topeka will take root and change me to love people more for Christ's name.
3. Pray for my living/job situation in Tallahassee, that things would continue to develop and work out upon my return.
Thanks for reading, if you'd like to take a gander at the spiritual walk I have been on for the past five months, take some time and read previous blog posts and pray for me!

P.P.S. I love Topeka.

New Beginnings
Friends, Family, and Supporters,
First of all, let me say thanks to everyone who has been supporting me with prayers and financial support over these past few months. God has been incredibly good to me, and I really feel like I have a more personal walk with Christ, and my desires have been changed to seek Christ in everything that I do. We (TMP and I) have had a mutual changes in plans recently, in regards to my previous update.
If you haven't read the previous update, allow me to bring you up to speed:
Yesterday, in a meeting, we considered the pros and cons of keeping me in Kansas for the next 6 months after Christmas. As we began listing the pros, I fully trusted that God could continue to teach me things and develop me as a person, but I just could not bring myself to say that I felt called to stay in Kansas. The con list far outweighs the list of pros, and have the potential to make life hard on myself and TMP, which is not my intention. We decided after the meeting yesterday that we would begin to take steps towards sending me home in the first week December.
Although I thought God was calling me to be here for a year, he had other plans. But I am very excited to see where God is leading me next as I make my trip home and begin to do his will in Florida. I know that my hope is in Christ, and by fulfilling his call on my life to move back home I know he will reveal himself to me.

It was brought to my attention recently that the money I raised as support for my year in Kansas is quickly running out, we have had to raise the required monthly amount since my arrival, because we did not realize how expensive living would be, as well as trying to manage some curveballs (car troubles, minor health issues, finding new housing, etc.) that we did not see coming. I have the chance to stay in Kansas and split time between working at Trash Mountain Project, and a part time job to make up the difference in support, as well as moving in with a few close friends I have made. Due to the circumstances we are prayerfully considering what my next move will be.

I know that my hope is in Christ, and by fulfilling his call on my life to move back home I know he will reveal himself to me.
Neither Trash Mountain Project nor myself consider this move a failure. I came to Kansas 5 months ago with a desire for God to move in me and to change me to desire Him, and ultimately grow closer to him; and I feel like that is exactly what happened during this time here. This is just an opportunity for me to apply what I have learned in these past 5 months back home. We thought God was calling me to a year in Kansas, but he took a year's worth of grown and action packed it into 5 months!
I'm sure some of you are wondering about the remaining support money, and what our intentions are with it. Only the necessary amount will be cut to me to help me move back to Tallahassee, FL, and the remaining amount will go towards the last leg of my internship; a trip with TMP to the Philippines in the upcoming summer.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end of my time here in Kansas. It took me awhile to warm up to life in Topeka, but thanks to some truly amazing friends I know that the Midwest will always hold a piece of my heart.
Thanks to Zach P. for almost going to like 50 shows with me, and for playing music with me.
Thanks to Jack for being a great leader in your school and at Reverb, and for getting excited about SEU Worship with me.
Thanks to Zach T., Michael, David, Tessa, Morgan, Haley, Jared & Sydney, Caleb & Carey, and Trevor for taking me in to your group of friends and making me feel like I belong, even if everything is a coke to me ;) I cannot express how grateful I am for each and every one of you, and your generosity towards me. You have all helped me realize the type of friend I want to become as I head home. Keep me in the GroupMe, so I can stay updated on your lives!
Thanks to everyone else for the great laughs and experiences that made my time in Topeka unforgettable, you will all be dearly missed!
Thanks to the TMP staff, your encouragement and support around the office have not gone unnoticed these past few months! I have always appreciated every time someone has made lunch for me, or had me over for dinner, and I will miss you all very much! Continue to do God's will, and focus the heart of this incredible mission where he is leading you!

My last month in Topeka will be tough to swallow, but I am very excited to be back in Florida in a little less than a month! I am very excited to see how God is going to use me and stretch me to further his kingdom!! Soli Deo Gloria!!

Looking Ahead
Friends, Family, and Support team,
Thank you so much for your prayers and support over the past 4 months, my time in Topeka, so far, has been a growing experience beyond anything I could have dreamed to pray for.
It was brought to my attention recently that the money I raised as support for my year in Kansas is quickly running out, we have had to raise the required monthly amount since my arrival, because we did not realize how expensive living would be, as well as trying to manage some curveballs (car troubles, finding proper clothing for the weather, etc.) that we did not see coming. Due to the circumstances we are prayerfully considering what my next move will be.
I have the option to stay with some great friends of mine in Kansas, and pick up another job on the side to begin splitting time with TMP and working somewhere else. I believe that this would still be beneficial to spend 3-4 days per week at the office, and continue to gain wisdom from the leaders of the ministry. This would be stressful, however, I know my Father in heaven will take care of me if I continue to pursue his calling on my life in Kansas. This situation is a test of faith, and I want to remain faithful to God who called me to Kansas until he finishes his work in me here. My plan is to do whatever is possible to keep me in Kansas until God clearly shows me that I need to be back in Florida.
I am encouraged to have received the grace to react to this situation with such confidence in Christ to sustain me and reveal himself to me. It is just evidence that God is changing my heart, my will, and my affections. Three months ago, if something would have come up that would have made it possible for me to go back to Florida with a legitimate excuse, I would have jumped at the opportunity to drop everything in Kansas and run back to my home state. Now, in stead, I am terrified of being anywhere Jesus is not calling me to be so that he can change me.
Praise God for changing my heart to desire to do his will.
If you are wondering how you can help, I need prayer for the situation; that God would make himself known to me and that I would have the humility and discernment to listen and respond to his calling.
Thank you all, again for your continued prayers and support! I miss everyone in Florida dearly, and cannot wait to see you all (hopefully) soon!
Soli Deo Gloria

Hello!
I apologize for the lack of updates recently, things in Topeka have been busy, busy, busy. Between work, volunteering at church, and making time for friends, I struggle to find time to update my blog, but I hope to get better about keeping everyone up to date on my life in Kansas!
Very excited for the coming month(s) in Kansas, because of the B-E-A-utiful weather we have been experiencing! Most days have been in the mid-high 60's, and at night temperatures often drop into the 40's-30's! For about 30 minutes, a few days ago, rain began to fall along with some wet snow! It was the first time I have seen real snow (even though most people in Topeka would not claim this to be real snow since I was about 5 years old! The weather this week is not supposed to read the 60's, and many nights will be in the low 30's, which is unreal, considering my friends in Florida are still sweating as they walk from their house to their car.
This weekend was very eventful and relaxing at the same time. I traveled with some friends about 20 minutes east of Topeka to a 'legendary' tradition among Topekans (is that a word?) called Gary's Berries Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. This is just as much fun as it sounds like.
We spent the next hour lost in a corn maze, which was surprisingly exciting, and surrounded by farm animals and all the elements of fall in Kansas. I had never been through a corn maze, but it definitely exceeded my expectations, and I was happy to be spending the weekend with such great friends.
On Sunday, I visited a new church and spent the rest of the day with my friends Haley and Tessa. As they studied I wrote poetry and caught up on some reading; but we made sure to spend some time unwinding with a bonfire and foil dinners to cap off a near perfect weekend. I feel energized and well rested after a fun weekend.
Early last week I began experiencing frequent chest pains, similar to some I have felt off and on for 2 years, or so. But, these were very frequent and excruciatingly painful. I took a trip to the ER to see if there was any imminent danger in the pain, but the doctors could find nothing from an EKG and a chest X-Ray. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow at 2:45 (cst), so please be praying that the doctor would be able to accurately asses the cause of the pain. I am confident that whatever is going on will only work to glorify the name of Christ.
Also, I have started working out with some close guy friends (insert laughter here). On Saturday we worked out arms, chest, back, and abs; and even today I am painfully sore. Hopefully I can start to drop some of the dead weight I have gained over the past few years and bring back my 16 year old healthy self. Stay tuned for results and progress photos.
Although times have been good in Topeka, and my circumstances have greatly improved, I am still trying to remind myself daily that my joy is found in Christ alone. My great friends and awesome job are not my hope and security, they didn't die in my place to save me from my sins. But I know, as a believer, I am able to enjoy these great gifts from God so much more because I understand he has given them to me in the perfect time. I am grateful for mercy today, and for the gifts God has given me to point me back to him!
Soli Deo Gloria

Busy Weekend/ Post Spoken Update!
What a crazy weekend! TMP's biggest fund raiser event of the year (Spoken) was this weekend and has consumed the bulk of everyone's time in the office for early a month now.
On Friday I arrived at the office at 8am and did not leave until after 6:30pm. Saturday I was up and going at 7:30am, and after a hard days work, a trip to the airport, and a staff dinner I was in bed around 11:45pm. And then, the longest day of them all, Sunday I was at Capital Plaza Hotel loading in our tech equipment at 6:15am and spent the whole day setting up, taking care of the leaders and out of town guests, and then tearing down and transporting all our equipment. I finally found myself in bed around 1am. Then I spent Monday morning unloading our equipment back into the TMP office.
Needless to say, I am exhausted from a long weekend. Even though I cannot ever remember being this tired, I am overwhelmed by a peace that my labor is not in vain. Seeing the faces of children and hearing the stories of the families who are still working and dying on these trash dumps has reminded me of my purpose as a part of the ministry of Trash Mountain Project. I am blessed and honored to be working with a ministry of such integrity and calling.
This weekend was productive, donations are still coming in from Spoken, and we are excited to see how God used our words to call people to think globally, and how they will respond to the need they have heard about at the event.
I have been going through Matthew lately and the beatitudes at the beginning of the sermon on the mount are a great reminder of the promise God has for those who recognize their need for him. I am praying that God would always keep me humbled, and that I would wake up each day reminded of how much I need Jesus.
Things to be praying for:
Wisdom as I begin to think about what to do after my internship.
A hunger for the Word of God daily.
Humility, patience, and self control.

Good Reminders
Things in Topeka have been so so so busy this past week, but we are quickly approaching our Spoken 2013 fundraiser this weekend!
The past few days I have greatly missed my family and friends back home. As I have explained in previous posts, I go through cycles where I am fine,and then, all of the sudden, it seems like, I miss my friends in Tallahassee or my family in Lakeland SO much.
I was feeling greatly discouraged over the past few days, because I still feel like I have so much time before I get to go home, and I prayed last night that God would comfort me in this time where my spirits are low.
This morning Pastor Jeony, one of TMP's partners in Honduras, came into the office to talk to the team. He arrived with his wife from Honduras last night and will be staying through the weekend for Spoken.
The whole office set aside over an hour of our time to listen to the story of how he started working in the trash dump community in Tegucialpa, Honduras; and the story blew my mind. He talked about the ministry and how God had his hand on it when they were confused, overwhelmed, and understaffed, and how he is still working in their midst to grow their faith as they seek to bring the Gospel of Jesus to the community. He then proceeded to praise the work that TMP is doing in Honduras for nearly 15 minutes and encouraging us to not lose heart, but with every little thing we do that seems insignificant, to remember that we are changing lives with the work we do.
His wife explained how 95% of the families who come through his program are in discipleship programs, how they had 17 students baptized last week, and how they have seem many youth come to saving faith in Christ and they are dedicated to sharing with their friends and family.
Probably the most encouraging statistic from this morning was that there are 10 babies in the nursery in Honduras who will go their whole lives never having to work on the trash dump in their life, this is the first generation since the dumps have opened that will not have to rely on the trash to make a living.
I am overwhelmed with purpose, and comfort that came just a few hours after I petitioned God for it. Praise the Lord for answering my prayers, and hearing me in my doubt and uncertainty.
Please continue to pray for me, and for TMP and the work we are doing overseas. Also be praying for our fund raiser event this weekend, so that we can continue to provide the best care for the people in need all over the world.

Update!
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! Things have been crazy busy lately with Spoken 2013 approaching this coming Sunday!
Things have been going well, but busy as always. I've been encouraged by some new friends I've been making over the past few weeks who have been very intentional about getting to know me and inviting me to be a part of their group of friends. I've been overwhelmed by the amount of love I've received from them, and realized how blessed I am to have friends wherever God chooses to send me, in his timing.
VERY exciting news: my brother Steven will be in Topeka for Thanksgiving! I could not be any more excited to have my brother in town with me for the holiday, and shortly after he leaves, I will be joining him in Tallahassee! I am very much looking forward to seeing all my friends again, and then going home to Lakeland for Christmas. It all seems like SO far away in my head, but I know these next 6 weeks will fly by, and before I know it, I'll be home with my family.
Its crazy to believe that I have begin my 3rd month in Topeka this past week. I am still humbled, and honored to be a part of what's going on in the ministry, and blessed to have the opportunity to gain experience working for a ministry like Trash Mountain Project.
Please be praying for me as I continue to seek direction for my life, and as I begin to think about plans for after my time in Kansas, and please be praying for the Spoken fundraiser this weekend! This is our once-a-year fund raiser where most of our support comes in from, so we need God to show up in big ways so that the organization can grow and be more effective in reaching people with the Gospel!
I miss everyone a ton, and can't wait to see you all soon!
