Just what I needed

Tonight I got to talk with very good friend of mine on the phone for almost 2 hours, and it was just the conversation I needed. It's been a long time since I've really opened up about my spiritual life and to tell ya the truth, it's so refreshing to get encouragement back. From the things I've gone through and the struggles of everyday life, to where I've been and where I'm going, from venting about work and just laughing about little silly things, it was just what I needed :) 

I was reminded tonight that I have a purpose in life and that I am more than just who I think I am right now. I received encouragement to get back involved in a church ministry, something I've been missing in my life for quite some time. Tonight was the encouragement I needed. 

So a big shout out goes to my good friend and my sister-from-another-mister, you rock! 

Always,

Confessions at 4 in the morning

Hello friends! 

There is no real confessions I just though this would be a catchy title to see if anyone would visit hahaha. 

So here I am, 4:08 in the A.M. too excited to sleep. Why? Because Saturday I leave for Kenya, Africa and there are things I need to get done before then. This will be my first mission opportunity outside the U.S. and I am totally pumped for it! I will be gone August 18th - 31st. So here is part of my To-Do list to get done, just incase you're bored lol. If there's anything you can think of that I may need to get please feel free to leave a comment. 

T0-Do:

-Pray.

-Start packing.

-Get interpreter snacks.

-Hem pants. 

-Get memory chip for camera. 

-Take AND pack Malaria pills (very important). 

-Mail letters. 

-Pack shot records. 

This is about as far as I got lol. I know there's more but most of that has to do with the packing process. 

Anyway, thank you for reading and hope you all have a great day/night :o) 

P.S. If anyone likes relaxing music, check out the Mat Kearney station on Pandora. 

Much love,

-Mikey J. 

New Orleans Mission

Dear friends & family, 

Tomorrow morning a team of 15 including myself are heading down to New Orleans, LA. Students from the University of Memphis BCM and Jackson State BCM are teaming up for a mission to do light construction, back yard bible clubs and I'm sure much more. We will be gone from Saturday to Thursday. 

Please keep us in your prayers over this next week with travel, reaching out to people, positive attitudes, and energy :o) 

Stay tuned for updates throughout the week and pictures! 

Thank you.
