The word “always” has been one of my favorite words for a long time. Any time I am trying to think of a word to put on artwork, “always” is the one that comes to mind first. It is the one that echoes in my mind and it is the one that my heart yearns for. I am not sure I have ever understood why it was this word that continually showed up on my lips and in my heart, …
Well, I surely haven’t updated this thing in a long time, huh? Ahhhh I don’t even know where to start. I guess I’ve been having a hard time in my faith lately. I have a really hard time worshiping God in a scheduled, blocked off time, and it’s taking a toll on my faith life a lot. I don’t like having a “this is when we should worship God” and “this is when we sing together” time. I want to …
I actually found out today that one of my students had a father die. He died on December 27th of cancer. please, please pray for him. he also had an older brother killed 5 years ago, so his heart is really hurting. please pray for him and his family, they need it a lot. thank you… Tweet
that’s a good song… back in black? AC/DC??? my parents actually went to an AC/DC concert this past year and sent me pictures of them performing that song, hahahaha… it was awesome. in any case! we’ve all just returned back to Camden, and things are quiiiite different. due to some things in her heart, our team mate, Lindsey has decided to stay home in Colorado. this is hard, because she is my sister and I feel so much love for …
sorry that it has taken me so long to write another update! so many things have been going on lately!! wellll I’ve decided that I’m probably going to quit doing capital letters except for people’s names and the word “I”. this is probably because I really don’t like writing in capitals, because it takes forever. hahaha, I know, I’m super lazy, right? oh well, I can type faster this way. yayyy can I just tell you that this past month …
This past Friday, all 4 of our local teams from Cazland went out to experience homelessness. We slept in a church with no heat and no lights and I have never been so cold before! I decided to try to do my best to experience what one might experience sleeping by themselves in an abandoned building, so I didn’t sleep next to anyone and slept on my bookbag without a blanket. It was so cold, the only way for me …
It is a very long process, finding one’s self. I feel as if a lot of the times I believe I know who I am… then I get in a place where I have nothing besides God and myself and find that I know just about next to nothing about myself. I find that it’s very hard to be vulnerable in this journal, but I do want to be as honest as I can be, comfortably (lol), to let everyone …
Quoting one of my students today, hahahahaha. I must say, this week is going very well. We finally got internet hooked up at our school and it looks like things will be looking up from here in that way. It was hard getting in contact with the other teachers when I didn’t have access to my e-mail! So, now they are allowing me to check my e-mail so I can keep up to date on things. We received a new …
P.S. It will look like I wrote twice today, but really the previous entry was written 4 days ago, lol : ) In any case, I sure am finding it to be quite the challenge trying to teach. Today was the first day that I got to teach Spanish. I think that it went pretty well as they had been learning the same kind of thing over and over for the past few weeks, so I hope they enjoyed something …
This past week was definitely draining. Working at the school is great, I am so excited to be humbled enough that I’m not worrying about my worth in the job that I do. I was picking up trash as a part of my morning duties the other day and I just felt so happy that picking up trash was of some use to those I am serving. Though I know I have a BA in something and I have college …
Welp, we’ve all arrived in Camden! My team is already so close with one another, it’s really helpful and wonderful to have that support when someone is having an off day. For me, today is definitely an off day, though the Lord is as strong as ever, and He will carry me. We all went to training in Atlanta, GA, and it was wonderful. The speakers were very compelling and the time with the Lord was well spent. I know …
