it's been a long, tough two weeks.
before I share the tough stuff, here's the good stuff.
-I hiked the Flume Trail. It was a total of 15 miles, and I got some beautiful views.
-I've gotten to know the girls I am working with really well. Considering we work and live with each other, we are getting along quite well.
-I've gotten to know my kids more. They are a blessing to hang out with for about an hour everyday. One day I will remember to take pictures of them, so I can share their precious faces with you.
On the other hand...
It's been hard. I don't want to go into the details, but there are some aspects of this job that I am really struggling with. I've really been struggling with why God has me here. I'm sure there are other people who are much more qualified for this job, who would fit in much better in this environment.
God sees the whole picture. When you don't understand--God has a plan!
This is a paraphrase of something said in a sermon at a church in Reno that I visited tonight. Even though this is tough and I don't like some things about the job, God is teaching me something. I may not figure it out for a while, but He is preparing me for something.
Wanna help me out? You can pray for...
...love and grace in the tough situations.
...confidence when I don't feel any.
...my kids to understand the things God teaches them through me.
...me to focus on being all here.
