The Flipside




I' ve used that phrase so many times, it's nice to actually be ON the flip side.
I feel rested and all caught up on sleep after a busy day yesterday. I'm sure you've all heard it before but nothing can really prepare you for cultural immersion. 

I am here.  And it both looks like what I was expecting and nothing like it. 

Last night I felt more overwhelmed by my own insignificance than by anything else. But I had expected (although dreaded) that. I'm not one to easily admit I don't know things.  And I don't know many,many things.  

But God is sovereign, and He is good. two things that comforted me last night. I think we all want to be special, needed and be able to bring meaning to others lives. I don't think I am struggling with anything unusual. But, like everything worth doing, it takes time. 

The weather here is beautiful. Breezy and warm.

My reading assignments for the week
There will be a longer post probably tonight, when I can upload pictures. 
Love you all. Thank you for your prayers.

    Your reading assignments look pretty challenging. What with all the mirrored writing and stuff.

    I love you Jennifer Ruth and I am so proud to be your little sister. I am praying that God continues to give you the strength to teach and gives you the courage and grace to be taught! Keep us informed, ok? :) I love you! -Laura

      I love you too. You are, after all, my Bruddah!
      I wish I could show you the campus in person, but it will have to wait until you get down here. (did I mention they have many ASL opps here?)

    Glad you made it. Hope all goes well. I am and will be praying for you during this year. I'm Liz from Grace Church, and I was the "old gal" in Kelly's Sunday School class. I talked to you in the hall on Sunday and am so glad God met your needs and touched your heart through the offering on Sunday night. May this be a year when you come to know God's grace afresh.
