Week 10: What just happened?!

Hello All!
So, its Sunday and I don't even know how it got to be this late in the week: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! Last week literally was gone before I knew it was Wednesday. The beginning of the week was filled with caring for the sick girls here at my house (They had the same bug that I had gotten a few days earlier) and it smelled like a bathroom in the house for about a week! Yeesh! Then I had to do all my mentor meetings, small groups, cleaning, laundry ... and that was just one week! The this past week was "Kingdom" by our base director, Rob Hensser. Summarized, it was about engaging ourselves so that the church isn't confined to a building but actually getting out into the world and making a difference. A great quote from this teaching was "Jesus didn't stay in the church and wait for the world to come to Him, He went out into the world and brought church to them! Quite convicting, huh?! So this upcoming week is the last week of Lecture for this DTS! Yikes! I hope I can get my To Do list out of the way so I can have time to hang out with the students before they jet out of here. It feels weird to be packing up my stuff, not leaving any of it. I seem to have accumulated quite a bit of it over the years. Sigh! Good thing its just stuff ... Question: Why is it so hard to give away SHOES?! It physically hurts. Smile! I'm up early on a Sunday trying to hack off the most pressing stuff on my list. I started laundry early so that I can get a head start before the students wake up and realize that they need to be doing the same thing. Smile! They make me laugh...

Prayer Request:
-Time management so that I can get what I need to get done and help out the students as they clean and pack too!
-Finances to pay off Staff Fees
-Discernment: to do what I need to be doing not what I'd rather be doing
-Encourage the students as they prep to go overseas
-That I would be able to end things well here on the Coast with people and my gear

Thank you all so much for sticking with me over the last few months. Your encouragements and prayers are FELT!
Love you all heaps upon heaps!
