So I know I should blog more often...give people a little update on my plans. Unfortunately, it seems like not much has really happened in the last couple months. Until I start to think about it a little bit more.
I'm at about 50% of my support right now, which is really exciting. At times it seems slow to me, but at other times I can hardly believe that so much is in already. I am constantly amazed at how much people are willing to support this ministry in South Africa. But at the same time, I don't know why I'm so amazed. I mean, God is so big, and His plans are so much bigger than my plans. And if it is really in His will for me to go to South Africa then the funds will come in. A big thank you to everyone who is already supporting me. You have no idea how much it means to me that you are willing to come behind me and support me in various ways.
In other news, my time at camp for the summer is winding up. I can't believe how quickly it's gone. For those of you who didn't know, I have spent the last couple months at Southern Alberta Bible Camp helping out in the kitchen. Once again, it has just amazed me at how much I have been blessed in my last couple months here. I kind of came here with a crappy attitude, to be honest. I knew that it was where God wanted me to be for the summer, but it still seemed like a job and not something I really wanted to do. However, God just worked a miracle in my life. I'll admit that working with 15-year-olds in the kitchen can sometimes be a very stretching experience for me. Teenagers are just not my forte. I think I sometimes I forget how annoying I was at that age. Anyways, God has been working in me a little bit this summer, and I can honestly say that I love every single one of the girls that I have worked with this summer. They have worked their way into my heart, and I'm just a wee bit sad that they're going to be leaving at the end of the week. Each one of them has shown me a little bit of who Jesus is and what His love for us looks like...something that I was not expecting in the least.
I am constantly being reminded of how cool God is. And how much I have to learn. And how often the people I end up learning from are the ones that I thought I would be teaching. It is so humbling. And yet such a blessing at the same time.
