So, it's been a very long while since I posted any updates... about 8 months!... and as I sit here to try and recap all that has happened since March I find that it would take a really LONG post... so I will instead highlight.
April: this was a preparation time for where the Lord was leading me. At the end He called me again, like He does, always gentle, kind... and I answered. The implications were huge, but definitely rewarding which I have yet to see the fruits of, or recognize the fruits.
May: Went to traffic school.. that was fun. Signed up for pizza and got comedy... silly, cheesy, corny comedy. My cousin came and visited me from Texas at the end of May... always good times.
June: One of our girls who is now in the program came to visit and tour our house as a potential scholar. She is now in our program! Started an internship at LoveHOP in Long Beach, CA.
July: Continued with the LoveHOP internship... learned and grew. Started to learn piano! : ] Went camping with my girls and they had a really fun time. Did lots of summer activities with the girls house.
August: Had two weeks vacation... really nice! Back to School BBQ for work.
September: School started and started getting into the rhythm. Fully dove into work and seeing the Lord work in our girls, one in particular, who blew me away with the change that came. Thank you Lord! My sister Abigail's birthday was this month which was great to celebrate it with her.
October: My mothers and fathers birthday : ] Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur & Sukkot!!! Yay
November Currently: PS it's my birthday in 3 days!! I am going to be a quarter!!
Abba has been doing some good things... very intense but good none the less. I feel like I am being lead, drawn to deeper waters, I know that I have so much growing to do still! [More on this in my next blog post.]
Oh and the best update to date: After two full years of working here and three months into my third year I have finally really truly realized that I am here to learn to be a servant and be a leader at the same time. To lead as Jesus did. To be a servant like He was.
After two years I have realized this..... Wow.
