So I arrived in Orlando tonight... the last few weeks, I feel like I have been living a dream. I am kind of waiting for reality to set in. I finished classes and finals and finally GRADUATED!!! Yes, May 13th, on such a beautiful rainy day I became a college graduate. Despite what others say, I think it was a FUN and exciting graduation. After that and packing and moving out, Dena and I quickly flew to Boston to celebrate graduation where we ran into a week of coldness and more wetness, yet I think we both agree that is was adventurous and full of entertainment. Then I came back in time to say good byes and pack and now here I am, the night before I begin a summer of working in the business department of ROSEN RESORTS and doing ministry in the evenings around Orlando............
So the big question people have been asking me is what exactly am I doing....... here it is in a nutshell. Tuesdays thru Saturdays, I will work in the business department of the resorts (maybe human resources or maybe something else, I will get full details in the next few days) and that will be my primary ministry (being an example)....... Three afternoons a week, I will take off two hours to host a Kids Club at the pool, full of fun, games, food, and bible stories. Then on Tuesday evenings I will prayerwalk the Orlando area. Thursdays are vendor visitation, where we will chose stores of interest and continually go in there and build relationships with people who work in the stores. Friday and Saturday evenings, we will work at street fairs, mainly doing fun activities like balloon animals and face painting. Wednesdays and Sundays, I will be placed in a church to work and minister in and that will help encourage and challenge me. We will work either with the youth or children... and Mondays are my days off.
So this is just a rough picture of what the summer will hold for me, things will probably change. My prayer is that God will prepare me and use me in different ways and that He will transform me in the process. Please keep praying... I will officially arrive at the camp in the morning to move in and help complete last minute tasks for the other innovators/missionaries arrivals.
