summer season has begun which means that i spend a few minutes a day thinking, "I should update my blog...I know just what I will write about" and then i totally get distracted or busy or something and forget about the update. so with a few free moments i thought I'd put a few things out there. Also lately my English ability seems to be really suffering. It's not that I am speaking so much Slovak that I have no need for English but my sentences are strange and my vocabulary is stunted and i am really sorry if these posts seem totally grammatically incorrect or somehow dumb.
One thing I really want to mention is just that God has been so faithfully getting my attention and nudging me forward and communicating some specific things to me that have been amazing. Now into my second year over here I am seeing some interesting stuff. This year has been "harder" in a lot of ways for a lot of reasons. But it's also been really sweet in terms of the deepening of my relationship with Jesus and in terms of the places where God is challenging me. I wish I could explain that better, but I will just leave it by saying that I love God more in these days than ever in my life. It's incredible to see Him living and working in my life and answering prayers and being faithful over and over again even when I am not.
The 2nd thing is that this summer is INSANE. As the director of summer camps for Slovakia I have a ton of stuff going on with the 3 camps we will do this summer. lots of logistics, planning, meetings, preparations etc. it's coming down to the wire. Additionally i am leading an intern team of 6 Americans which has been a huge blessing and really fun. So I am crazed until August but am thankful for it and God is doing some cool stuff with camp preparations and with the interns.
3rd if you are out there praying I would love for you to pray about our 3 camps. pray for the students who will be there and the American teams that are coming over to serve there. Pray for the interns as they build relationships before, during and after camp. Pray for me as I lead things and organize camps and interns. Pray for God to make his name great in Slovakia and for all of us to be a reflection of that.
Sorry this post is totally disjointed and rushed. I am running out the door and have a whole heck of a lot to do. I am posting some photos as well from the last few weeks. We did this incredible Amazing Race type thing across Czech Republic for the interns to get to know each other and do some team building. It was so fun and generated a lot of discussion topics and we got to know pretty well through it. Some of the photos are from there.
more to come as I have availability.
