Well, students arrived 3 days ago, so the NMBSP2012 has officially begun! We've had orientation the past few days, and they started searching for jobs yesterday. Sharing on the beach is in full swing, and God is already working through us to reach the people here!
It's taken me a little while to get used to being back here and taking on a new role as staff, but I already love it and can't even think about leaving in 5 weeks. I absolutely love having the students here too--it's so fun to see them experience summer project for the first time! I can definitely think back to how excited I was just a year ago in their spot.
The girls I'll be discipling are so great. I adore them, and I cannot wait to get to know them better and grow with them. I've also gotten to know a lot of the staff, especially my roommates, and I have been so blessed by them. They make me feel included and loved and are always encouraging me.
I'm also a part of the project operations team, which includes a lot of organization, communication, and administrative work. It is SO my thing, and I am excited to be involved in that way!
That's just a quick update of my life here in NMB. I haven't taken any pictures yet (crazy!), but I'll try and get on that so you all can see what's happening.
Until next time!

Tomorrow!
Yep, it's already here! Tomorrow night I will be in North Myrtle Beach, SC ready for an awesome summer filled with challenging and fun experiences and letting God use me to reach the people of NMB! Last week, as I finished up finals, it seemed to surreal. There was no way I would be back in NMB in just a week. But today, it's finally hitting me! I don't think I'm prepared for what's going to happen, but I think that's ok. I know that God can work through me even when I am weak.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. -2 Corinthians 12:9
There you have it. I am ready to GO, and excited to see what God does with me and the rest of the staff and students of the 2012 North Myrtle Beach Summer Project.
Please be praying the next few days for the staff as we are traveling down to NMB and as we prepare over the next week for the students to arrive.
Until next time,
God's blessings,
Katie
