I'm excited to be back on my blog and focused on heading out on a new adventure. It seems like the past few months have flown by and the time for my departure is growing ever closer.
I know God has called me specifically to Honduras, based on many confirmations and the desires of my heart He is fulfilling in this next step.I cannot WAIT to be a teacher for the first time, to learn more spanish, to fall in love with a whole new group of people in a culture that has already claimed my heart, and to grow as God breaks and shapes and moves in the way He does, for His kindom purposes and His glory.
My greatest prayer is for God to use me to share my passion and love for Him with the students in my classroom. I desire for them to know God more and more each day as we learn and grow together in the classroom, through each unit of study, and as we see Him at work all around us.
Some other prayer needs specified for you all are below:
- travel and safety
- wisdom in 1st classroom teaching experience
- Pray for each of my students in 5th grade and that I would give them a passion for learning, and most of all, God’s Word.
- provision of a community of believers and Spanish speaking church
- pray against sickness
- growth in Spanish speaking skills and courage to use it
- confident- humility as I step into everything new
- blessing upon my relationships with my partner teachers, school staff, roommates, parents and students!
- That I would hold to the truth and promises of God and seek Him day by day to know Him more and more and find strength in my weakness.
- joy in the journey God has set before me and the privelege of serving Him in what He has called me to do.
- I have set the LORD continually before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore, my heart is glad and my glory rejoices, my flesh also will dwell securely. -Psalm 16:8-9
* Thank you for going on this adventure with me, for loving me and supporting me, for giving me confidence in what God has called me to do, and for blessing me with your prayers -- those I need most of all.
*I say goodbye with great sadness and pain in my heart, for it is hard to be apart. But I know that God is opening a door for new relationships and blessings as I step out in faith. I love you all dearly, please know that.
