An Amazing Week in Hartford, CT
The past week in Hartford was a definite learning experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better spring break trip. There are two main things I took from this. The first is to Trust God with everything. It is so easy to say, but not so easy to do. Originally, for this past week, we were supposed to work with an organization in Norwalk, but everything fell through. On Saturday night we stayed in a hotel having no where else to stay and no work to do for the upcoming week. In all honesty, I was a little concerned. I had just flown to Connecticut to do service work for the week only to find out we had nothing to do. Little did I know at the time, God had it all figured out. I had no reason to worry. We showed up at this church Easter Sunday morning and within 20 minutes we had places to stay, work to do and food to eat. God is so Awesome, he never ceases to amaze me!
The other major thing I realized on this trip is how much I need to learn, even about my own faith. I began to wonder if the things I believed are what I truly believe, OR do I just believe these things because that’s what my church believes. Spending time with 4 amazing servants of God this week has definitely challenged me to dig into God’s Word and to become a more faithful servant. I can’t even express how much I have been blessed by this trip. The people I have met, the friends I have made, and the life lessons I have learned, prove that God works in amazing ways.
God Bless, Carrie Van Engen

Carrie,
I'm glad you had a great trip to CT. When I first heard that things had fallen through, I too wondered what the week would bring. Like you said, it's not always easy to trust God. It's easy to keep him in the box we sometimes put Him in. And yet, He never fails us. Spending time with Latreia is awesome and I know Josh appreciated your willingness to come out and serve alongside him! Thanks for sharing and caring!
