I went to the meeting this past Tuesday to find out more information about the trip to London and France... At first I was really EXCITED about the possibility of going but the more and more I think about it... the less and less I feel like going.
Although I think the trip would be a lot of fun, I feel like there are such better ways that I could be putting my money to use right now.

"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

This verse is something I have really been thinking about a lot lately.
I think I'm going to go on a mission trip to Appalachia, West Virginia this spring and put off going to Europe. I've been researching it a bit and after learning more about the poverty and struggles that the people of this region deal with everyday I feel feel like this is where I am maybe supposed to be going. It's something I've been considering over the past month and has been something I've been praying about. I grabbed an application this morning and feel like if this is where God wants me to go, things will fall into place.
If you're interested in learning about the living conditions of the people in this region, I found this site pretty informative
