I could waste my time telling you of how busy I have been in the office this week but that doesn't seem like fun!! This week has been such an amazing week in so many ways! I have found Joy in my crazy hard times in the office, which I know is by God's amazing work. I have so much excitement for the students to come and it has been so great to know finally after being here almost a month it is SHOW TIME!!! This is what I came here for, God has been preparing me for this season for a long time and now it is now! There has been a TON of final details put together this week and we are ready, well at least I am ready!!!
This week has been So amazing in my quiet times. For some crazy reason I wake up everyday without an alarm clock between 5:30 and 6. Since I have been here I have just used that time to do my devotions and bible reading. This week I returned to my habits of when i was here last year. Every morning I had the same problem of waking up but I would go to the top of the sugar mill and watch the sun rise and do my reading. GOD TOTALLY ROCKED ME, HE TOOK MY BREATH AWAY WITH HIS AMAZING WAYS! For the last 4 days I have sat up there listening to worship music and reading my bible while the sun rises and fills the morning sky with bright amazing colors, it is amazing. I love my devotion time with God anyways but man each day it is different and more colorful. It amazes me that God is so personal to us and we sometimes forget to even stop to pray in our lives. I have to say that God has renewed my passion for him and I have gotten even more excited about where I am at in my life. It is MY JOB to wake up and spend time with him, and to be in constant worship of him all throughout my day. Really it is so hard to not be in that position when I start my day seeing his creativity and amazing power in such an awesome way. It adds so much more intimacy to my times when I think WOW God knew when he created this sun that at this moment I would be staring at it and in complete Awe and worship of him. I know that I am seeing a sun rise that he has made personally for me!! I could go on and on but I think something I am really understanding is how great it really is to be where I am. Although it is far from all my family and friends and a long shot from a normal life, I couldn't be more content. Seeing God continually provide funds for me to stay here, and continue to challenge me in my faith and desire a deeper intimacy from me is Amazing. Today even I was still thinking about how God has made it so clear for me to be here and actually brought me here. It blew me away that I was so sensitive to his voice and I am walking in his will for my life! I feel so unworthy to be in the position I'm in but I know that God chooses to use the most imperfect people for his greatest work!!! I am so thankful that I can be one of the few he has chosen for this opportunity! It all begins now!!!
