Today after church I took a walk......We learned about about what it really means to be a Christian in church today, how important it is that we see ourselves as a missionary in our city- the most influential cities in the world...
...I ended up at Herald Square, a little park next to Macy's on 34th Street. (See picture) The sun was shining perfectly at this table, so i sat down to spend some time with the Lord.
I started to pray- worshiping God for how great He is- HE is my provider and I am so blessed! There are days that I feel so alone in this big city, but God is always with me and HE can fill that void.
Then I started to pray that God would change me. I want to be a missionary in this city. Did you know that only 1/20 people in NYC actually call themselves a Christian? That means that when I walk in a subway car, I am most likely the only person in that whole car that is actually saved... WOW!
I want to serve my city- I want to be a missionary.
Pray for me- would you?
Pray that God will use me here- Pray that I will make a difference in this city for as long as the Lord keeps me here!

i'm proud of you... you are asking for us to pray for the exact thing you should be seeking as a christian; to be a missionary to the part of the world you are placed. it was good to hear your stories of passing out granola bars for your church and i know you are really helping all of your students! keep up the good work!
