I was sitting in the kitchen the other day and a strange thought hit me: "Being on the home side of an outreach is really an odd thing." This is the first Summer in, oh 9 years that I haven't gone on a short term trip. God had other plans, which are pretty cool. But I am so used to being there in the action, a part of the doing aspect of the trip. It is a weird feeling to be home thinking about them, praying for them, and wondering what they are up to! And missing the amazing food! :) I have gained a new perspective in being a part of the "Home Team." I miss my peeps and really wish I could have gone with them!
God's other plans: So most of you know that I have finished my BA degree from Evergreen and work at a child care center in Tacoma. My supervisor at work is taking my employee file to the State office to get my official job title changed to Director. There is a training for child care directors and owners on August 6th that I am going to take part in. I would not be able to if I had gone with the team. At the time I was praying about going or not, I was confused and even a little angry when I didn't feel like I was to go. I told God: "You better have something good planned because I really want to go!" Well he did! I was quite shocked when my boss told me about the training and brought up the subject of the job change. Since the summer started, enrollment has been down at work, so I have been a little discouraged because I didn't think working full time would be a possibility right now, much less being put into a director's position. But here it is staring at me in the face! It is a little daunting and scary, but I know that it is where Abba wants me to be. I am going to climb into this roller coaster, strap in, and trust God knows what is best!
