I didn't believe him, but here we are 2 days til he comes home. The time has literally flown bye. I thought that I would be sitting at home twiddling my thumbs wondering what the heck I was going to do with my life this summer, but the Lord knew.
Let's just say that I am a professional babysitter. I have baby-sat / nanny every single day since he has been gone. Most of the time I don't even know that I am needed til the day of and its so neat. Its neat because the Lord is bringing people into my life that I have never met before. He has provided opportunities that open up more opportunities that open up more opportunities.
It's very cool because it is teaching me to save my money. I am not always guaranteed money and so it has really challenged me to be a "good steward of my funds". I have always struggled with that and clearly the Lord had his plan as to how I would one day be forced to learn.
Another neat thing that has been a really rewarding experience is getting to invest in the high school girls this summer. They have a desire to know God deeper and to build their relationship with them. Tonight we talked about the Gospel and what it means to share it with others around us. Challenging them as well as myself has been wonderful to see the Lord use them to work in me. The girls are learning what it means to be a Godly woman and how to be beautiful because of Christ in them.
"Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23
Here are a couple new pictures of Derrick. I praise God for these pictures. They have definitely gotten me through not seeing him or talking to him. He is loving the children.
