Looking ahead

It's been a trying week, slowly things are getting better but there is still a long way to go. Our first week in the office was full of being flexible and doing whatever we were asked. It included everything from folding t shirts, packing supplies, and counting various materials. It all needs to be done and in just 2 weeks we will see the result of all the various tasks. We have decided to help Joplin as much as we can, but we also have 20,000 highschoolers that are depending on us this summer to put on these events and make them run smoothly. It's been hard trying to fit everything in- working all day, getting to know my teammates and the other staff here, hanging out with my friends that live here, finding time to workout, talking to friends and family from home/school. I am still so thankful i'm here this summer, I know God is at work. If you would be praying for Him to keep my heart open to His leading this summer and for Him to give me peace. Pray for Him to allow me to not allow fear to keep me from meeting new people and investing in their lives. It's hard to be away from my family after all that's happened here. Also knowing my sister is home makes me wish I could be closer. In spite of that, I am here and there is something here God wants to teach me. I'm pushing through. In my weakness He gives me strength. I will trust in Him.
