Hey all, I do hope you don't think that I spend all of my time at the beach. For those who wonder, let me tell you what I've been up to these past few weeks.

In February, I was switched from helping at the Centre to helping over at the Camp. Lots of missionary groups came through, including just under a 100 8th graders who came over a 2 week period. They were from Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale and they worked hard all over this island.

Some days they helped us out with work projects here at the Centre and the Camp. Other times, they were at some of the poorer schools playing with the children and cleaning up their school yard - which is lined with paper and glass trash. They worked so hard and in the evenings gathered and talked. Almost every teen was impacted by their ministry opportunities in ways that they wanted to change things within their lives when they got home. It was great to see and be apart of what God was teaching them.

Other groups came and I was blessed so much to be apart of their ministries.

On March 18, I traveled to Orlando to see my nephew, Jacob. He lives in Penn and I haven't seen him since his mother's funeral so it was a special visit. No heavy things to talk about, no pressure, just time with him.

His foster family are old friends of mine so it was a blessing to be with them and chat over things.

As soon as I returned, my job at the ALC changed again. I like that I'm changing, its really teaching me of how I need to depend on the Lord and not myself to do things...after all, I never know what I'm about to do until I do it.

The new job is food service. I'm doing some prep work for the Patmos food, shopping for all the food, and planning the menu. Its right up my alley but difficult because I need to fill out forms...those who know me well know that I hate paperwork (admistration as some call it). Its actually a fear of mine so I am out of my comfort zone.

For those who pray, please pray that the Lord will help me to learn and not fear it. It's a silly fear but so is stage-fright. I don't want that fear to stop me from doing what I know God wants me to do...or to hinder me from doing a good job.

I'm extremely thankful for all those here who have supported me as I try and learn new things. Its amazing how much I really need those around me to support me even in the little things each day.

The passage that talks about God's ways not being my ways, and God's thoughts are not my thoughts has been a passage that continues to pop up in my thoughts. I see it everyday and I'm thankful that it is true. Who am I that I should think God is to do things my way...I know so very little and God knows all things...I see very little but nothing is hidden from His sight...I am in control of nothing but God has total sovereignty over all and will cause good to even come out of evil. Who am I but the one who is at awe with His plan that is slowly something that He is showing me as I seek to confess my sins to Him each day.

God is good. What more is there to say!
