This was a different trip for me in that it was a new Bible study (Daniel) and Angie was my trip leader (I love you Angie!) and yeah, I kinda knew the run of things so I got to put a lot of input in this week...
It definately had it's challenges - the church had problems with their bus and didn't have transportation for Monday, Tuesday and part of Wednesday. That meant Angie drove everyone everywhere - it took atleast an hour to transport everyone from the church to the worksite to the VBS site and back to the church and bathroom breaks in between.
It was an awesome week though - I loved teaching this week! I learned so much about Daniel that I never knew before. And Sharack, Meshack, and Abednego were our age and stood against the crowd. Daniel was our age and stood against the crowd. Change requires someone to stand up and voice their opinion. Change never happened by sitting around and waiting for it.
It was so sad though at the end of the week... Saying good-bye to Donella and her family... And Jess and all the wonderful people at All Saint's that I got to know this summer. And Van Arrington who helped with our VBS. It was truly a summer I will always look back on with fond memories and I pray that next year I have done even greater things than that. I don't want that to be my high mountain top experience in life. I am 22 years old and the world is before me, I want it to be the base of a life full of adventure and exciting ways that God will use me in His kingdom.
Thanks to you all for all your prayers and support and encouragement this summer!
