Only 2 weeks of school remain, and we have been quite busy lately with wrapping up the semester. This is always a hard time of the year for me because, while I rejoice over all the Lord has done throughout the year, I am oh so sad to see the senior class graduate. And this one I am especially sad about...tears come to my eyes just thinking about these girls graduating. On Sunday night, the Crusade staff women hosted a dinner to honor our senior girls, and their dedication to the ministry. I enjoyed this evening so much, and being able to spend time in fellowship with these girls before graduation was a huge delight. Three of these women I have discipled throughout their college years. It has been an incredible joy to mentor these girls, and grow in the faith with them. I can definitely say I have benefitted from these relationships as much as them if not more, and these are friendships that I will treasure for years to come. Chelsea, Christie, and Morgan...you are my heart!!! Christie will be interning with Crusade next year, so I am thrilled to say that she will be my co-worker! This is one of my first disciples to intern, and I am so excited! Please pray for her as she will be raising support this summer to return in the fall. Chelsea will most likely be teaching in Oxford or Memphis. I am definitely excited that she will still be around next year. Please pray that the Lord would bless her with a job soon. Morgan has applied to graduate school, and is waiting patiently to hear back. She desires to be a child life specialist, and I definitely believe the Lord has gifted her for just that. Please pray that the Lord would clearly reveal His will to her, and that she would continue to trust in Him as she waits. Serving in full-time ministry is by far a huge blessing, and I am so thankful that the Lord has given me the opportunity to minister to these young women. I will definitely miss having them around, but I know the Lord is going to do mighty things through each of them as they continue on in their faith! Thanks to all of you who make it possible for me to be a part of this amazing ministry!

Amy! You are too sweet and such an encouragement to me. Your love for the Lord is incredible and I am so thankful to have you as a mentor, friend and especially as a sister in Christ. You have shown me what it is truly like to walk with the Lord daily even through the most joyous times and especially through the trials and tribulations life takes us through. Words can't describe how much you mean to me and I am so thankful for the time spent with you! You will always be so special to me and even though we might be hundreds of miles away next year, you will still be one of my best friends. Thank you for everything, love you so much!
