tomorrow is may 1st. seriously?
it is hard to believe that this semester is already over and i am just 3 short months away from moving to addis. i know i've not been a very good blogger but my now things are slowing down and there is much more to report, so hopefully the updates will be much more frequent & exciting as well.
so lets get caught up on my life & journey.
- this semester has been absolutely incredible. while it has
been difficult trying to balance internship, family and friends, the Lord has taught me so much & is really moving in my life. my internship was better than i could have ever imagined. over the past 4 months, i have fallen absolutely in love with 28 of the most incredible kids i know. i've never been so sure of something, as i am that this is exactly what i need to be doing. these kids have taught me more & touched my heart, every single day. i have been so very blessed and am so thankful for such an incredible student teaching experience.
- i have officially become an ACF hasbeen. it is so hard to see this chapter in my life closing & my time at acf coming to an end. these past 3 years have been the best of my life. the Lord has truly blessed me with the MOST incredible friends and memories. i h
ave grown more in the Lord in the past 3 years and that is greatly due to love, accountability, and encouragement that i have found in acf.
- and the final major update to report is the most exciting.
i have officially been promised 100% of my support. the Lord is so very faithful. he always provides, despite our lack of trust and confidence in his abilities. the generosity that i have received has been overwhelming and i am so very loved. it is so exciting to know that i am not going alone, but that all of the people that i love so dearly will be joining me through prayer, financial support and encouraging words.
now i am in the process of filling out the great stacks of paperwork that required of me in order to work, live, travel to, & stay healthy in ethiopia.
pray for me:
-as i struggle with saying goodbye to some of my closest friends as they graduate & move away to begin their careers or leave for the summer
-that the Lord would continue to use me here in auburn for the remainder of the 3 months in the states
-in this time of transition as i am no longer in my internship & with my kids, moving into summer school, and preparing my heart for the next major steps in my journey.
