For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2nd Timothy 1:7
So I know I haven't had much access to the outside world but the internet hasnt worked and I had training for my ministry and then training for work. Tomorrow actually begins my first full week with the full schedule (even though I started work last week). So be praying that I have the energy because the last couple of days (today was even my day off) I have been worn out. I need God's strength to give me energy to be the best I can at work. Working at the front desk, I am the first thing guests see so I need to have a smile on my face and a cheerful sincere nature... I just need enough rest to get there... which gives me to the most important part of the note!!!!
A couple of things have happened since we have been here. Today 3 or 4 girls got calls from their banks about suspicious spending. Then when we got back to camp after an outing our dorm has evidence of someone coming in and plundering... so the police have been called and are here and it is 2:30 in the morning and no one is asleep (yes and I have to be at work at 7am)... so please pray for my team because we are all shaken up. Someone was in my room and my purse was in the room and I had a wallet in there that was on my dresser opened...... luckily I have a keychain wallet and my credit cards and personal info was with me. I was blessed but girls have lost a lot of money tonight and it has hit them hard. We felt so safe on campus but now we just have to trust in God... but still we didnt expect this.
The first week has been good. The past couple of days I have been a little homesick and I really miss a few people a lot but it has not affected my work or ministry because I am in the zone and focused on the people there. God got me here and blessed me in little ways. I got to share my testimony with my aunt in FL and I got my own room and my neighbor, Kara, and I have become good friends instantly.
Trials have happened but God got me through each of them. The first day i sliced my finger REALLY bad (within 2 hrs of me being here) and I should have gotten stitches but we didnt know it was that bad until the day later bc it wouldnt stop bleeding long enough. so now i have a permanent scar to remember the summer. then they wanted to give me a special assignment in human resources which would have been fun but I would not get a single day off on all summer because I would work mon thru fri and do ministry tues thru sunday... and then I wouldnt have kids clubs (which broke my heart) and i wouldnt have time with my team. But I trusted in God and said I would be flexible and God blessed me by putting me at the front desk and I am on the same schedule as everyone else. I also caught on to the computer stuff the first day and they usually train ppl for two weeks before leaving them alone and i was on my own computer the 2nd day so that was kind of cool. I started making friends with my co worker s and I think they like me (my manager even bought me lunch Sat as a surprise)... so even though staying on your feet for 8 hrs is tough, I really like my job. I meet fun people every day.
Ministry is great... I am okay with facepainting and I love going to Fun Spot to paint kids faces... after a long day at work, it makes it all worth it. Tomorrow is our first kids club so be in prayer. I have to get up in two hours for work so I will finish my ministry report tomorrow or the next day!
Peace out :)
