This is a photo from Jen's bday. That's her in the foreground with the
cute white dress. The lady in the back (I believe I took this just as she
was putting something in her mouth, sorry) is Tina. It was her home and she
hosted the party and made all of the food. She and her husband are amazing people. I will be traveling with them to the Czech Republic to teach English to youth and twenty-somethings from June 23rd to July 27th. How's that for getting to the point?
I had been so focused on joining the Peace Corps that it wasn't until after the interview that I realized that God had used it to to get me across a road. A road of bitterness and doubt concerning missions and fund raising that was keeping me from moving into the next season of my life. Of course I had no idea what the next season held so I chose not address those issues. This is where God graciously gave me the Peace Corps process which was something to sink my teeth into while he preformed minor surgeries without anesthetic. When this missions opportunity came up I had no doubt about participating because He had helped redefine, again, not only what I thought I wanted, and how I imagined myself, but had replaced the fear and doubt with trust and healing. There is no way to accurately explain what has gone on here. Not yet anyway. That is the best I can do so far.
Anyway- be looking for the support letters I'm sending. It explains more about what the trip is and why I need to go. And as far as the Peace Corps goes I am leaving that up to God. If they call me in January and ask me if I want to go teach English to teachers in Honduras... I might say yes.
I love you guys.
