Hello all from a GORGEOUS day here at the MN plains of Mankato! The sun is shining and it is sixty some degrees! OH SO BEAUTIFUL!

I have only 9 days of class left, that is beyond crazy! That means before I know

 it, I will be packing up my room and heading home! 

I really enjoyed my Easter weekend, attending a school with no religious attachments means no days off, but I have no classes on Friday, so was able to be home. I slept a LOT, but also spent time with my mom and grandpa who came to visit. I even had time to bake my first pie!

This week so far has been hectic, but I am enjoying planning MAN (Male Appreciation Night). The women of CRU plan a night to thank the men for their service in our ministry. It's a little over a week away! Tomorrow night I'll be attending my first ever Women's appreciation night, who knows what will be in store for that!

Today in my quiet time, I read 1 Corinthians 1:27-29:

"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. "

I am thankful that he did that, because I know that I am not wise, and I am weak and I am most definitely NOT of noble birth. I have no claim other than a heart the loves Jesus! I thank him for wanting to use me!

I thought I would give an update about support raising to say that the Lord has provided more than enough money for me to go this summer! I'm so grateful and humbled by the support and outpourings that I have received!  Only 40 some days until my feet will touch New Jersey soil!

Hopefully, we'll have flowers soon!!! :)

Bis naechtes mal,

Kimberly
