I found out my team and schedule today, and I am very excited to be spending the summer with many wonderful people! There is one girl here in particular who I have connected with the most named Christie. We both prayed hard to be on the same team, and God is good. :) I am grateful for what I know will be a lifelong friend after this summer.
Here is my schedule and location for the next two months.
June 1st -- June 9th: Gallup, New Mexico
June 10th -- June 23rd: Joplin, Missouri
June 24th -- July 7th: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
July 8th -- July 21st: Joplin, Missouri
There is a possibility that I might stay for the final mission trip the week of July 22nd through the 28th, but if not... I'll be flying home on July 22nd! :) Already missing all of you back home, but it's hard to feel incomplete when I'm whole in Christ. I'm so blessed to have this opportunity and I can already feel myself changing in such a positive way... praise Jesus!
Just found out yesterday that I will be co-teaching first grade next year with a wonderful sister in Christ! I am so excited, so thankful, and so ready to be with the young ones again. :) It has taken some stress off of me for next year which helps me focus even more on my summer.
I read Psalm 131 today and really connected with it. It's humbling. "My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me." I may not be perfect and I may not love the Lord like some people around me. I love Him, worship Him, adore Him in my own simple way, and for Him... that's enough.
God is good all the time!
All the time God is good!
