This morning I invoked the use of my multiple alarms. That takes me back to the past couple years
of school and how motivated I was (or more realistically lack thereof) to look
presentable in my first class. J
The kids and I played at a “new-to-me” park for a good while
this morning. I seriously love the
ingenious things kids can play on here.
These include items such as giant bowl-like swings (all the kids in the
same swing saves a lot of arm muscles strifeJ)
and mini trampolines built into the park area.
If I can at some point I’ll add some pictures, because I just think
these inventions are great. I’m easily
amused!
The afternoon was well-spent with my team leader and his
family. I had a delicious fajita lunch
with them, heard a little more about the team, was able to get to know them a
little better, and got some orientation training. If I’m being completely honest, it was good
but a bit overwhelming. I’ve seen a
tendency with myself, which is partly due to heat, to want to stay
indoors. This is an area where I’m going
to need to stretch!
I think this will be helped in many ways when I meet more people,
move in with locals, college students return, get into language practice, etc. Like my team leader said though, when I stay
indoors I don’t really need a big Jesus.
I am looking for this year to be a time of real growth – in every aspect
– and I know that becoming more dependent on the Lord in faith is a big part of
this. I am looking forward to this time,
but I am seeing more practically where looking to Jesus is the only way I can
manage. I pray this is a lesson I can
learn the easy way, instead of insisting on self-reliance first. Thankfully His grace is more than sufficient.
