India
I wanted to share with you a video that was sent to our team. It can help give a vision, purpose, and need for God's people in South Asia.
a year to remember.
So there was a big day the first of this month. I like to think of it as my favorite holiday (that might be a little selfish of me). You think you know, you are probably right...it was my BIRTHDAY! I was a little bummed at first because this was also the same time as our fall retreat in Rock Hill. Little did I know that I would feel more loved on that one day than I have felt in a while. My staff partner and good friend Kelly really went above and beyond.
The day started out with a surprise trip to Waffle House being greeted by the most "manly" birthday song I had ever heard! Then all day was spent at Carowinds and the 20 people I that were with us sang happy birthday to me in every line that we stood in! Oh boy oh boy what a day! The day continued with more song at lunch and after our last retreat meeting and at the end of our Saturday party. Though I wasn't with all of my most dearest friends and wonderful family those that I were with made my day extraordinary.
Now I know what you are all wondering... "How old is this chick?" Well I turned 24... yes 24! To me this yes seems old, but gets me super excited. This is going to be my golden year. At least that's what I'm telling myself. I am convinced that God has big plans for this year of my life! One of my previous pastors (who makes with God and hears directly from Him. I look up to this man greatly for all things of Jesus) has told me that this next year of my life something is going to happen. At first I wasn't sure if this made me nervous or excited?!? Well it's here and 24 has always been my most favorite number, so why not get excited!!
So start things off right I have taken up on the opportunity to go with a group of women from East Cooper Baptist Church to India! We will be there from December 2-12. I am so excited to see how the Lord is going to use us there and also how the Lord is going to change us through this opportunity! We will be working with children and women while there learning about how they live and their culture. Need less to say I so yes overwhelmed and nervous but thrilled to be going back over seas!

Fall is here!!
Oh how I love Fall! So many of my favorite things happen in this season! Pumpkins, pumpkin spice, cooler weather, falling leaves, and so much more!
Ministry at CSU is starting to really get moving, from football games to our fall retreat we are keeping busy!
A couple weeks ago we had our first home football game tailgate! So much work does have to go into these to plan but I really do enjoy them. Going to a school that didn't have football I have really come to appreciate the small program CSU has. Tailgates at the games give us an opportunity to fellowship with students we have been building relationships with and also meet some new students. We usually have a good turn out because free food to a college student is very enticing!

Keeping on with fall we just returned from our Fall Retreat. We went to Rock Hill, SC and on Saturday spent the day at Carowinds. CSU didn't have a huge number of students go with us but our time together was great. We were able to spend quality time together all day Saturday at Carowinds which allowed us to have great conversations as we waited for the next roller coaster!!
Richard Harris, from Houston, TX was our retreat speaker and he simply explain the gospel to many non-believers and I pray that hearts were penetrated and lives were changed.
Please continue to pray for us as we do ministry at CSU and stay tuned for more as I walk through this journey.
