God is Alive

Today is our day off, soon enough though... I'll have many days off.

The new summer staff arrived last week, and this week the current (I refuse to call us old) summer staff will be showing them the ropes.

Saturday was a long emotional and quite stressful day, all the teams left and so did one of our own. I have been so overwhelmed with emotions this past week over the realization that my time here is coming to an end.

I'm happy to go home and I think it would be good for me to be home right now as well, due to a stressful situation brewing.

I don't think it is going to be easy though. I think God is going to keep growing me at home. I pray that I continue to fellowship with God as much as I have been here. I'm so worried that this adventure will turn into a spiritual-summer-high, and I'm just not okay with that.

2 months. I spent two entire months in another country. I have learned so much. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I'm also very grateful for my family for supporting me as much as they have and do.

I came here, first and foremost for school, and relationships were the last thing on my mind. It was suppose to be work and a job, but God brought me here for something entirely different.

The full-time staff here are the most inspiring people I have met. Nic and Maurine are an amazing couple who has always lived their lives radically for Jesus. Jose resonates God's joyfulness and goodness. Nivia and Nineth are full-time students as well as full-time staff, the work load they are under astounds me. Those are only a few.... they all serve here with the most dedication and love for Christ that I have ever been surrounded by.

I think you can see... with this positive atmosphere, why it is going to be so hard to leave.

Not to mention summer staff, who have been a very supportive clan. But... luckily, I get to take one home with me, cause we attend the same school. (GC represents)

God is fully present and alive here. But, God is also fully alive in me.
