That was a creative title- I know.


One month left. Whoa. I remember freaking out when I had one month until the trip. Now I have one month until my flight out of Africa, less than a month in Swaziland- the freak out has started. School ends this week, but most of my students live close to me so I'll still see them. But still, I'm sad. Home is quickly approaching and with it a new rush of emotions. I miss home, I'm excited to see my family and friends, but I know that as soon as we say hello and get in the car at the airport every bone inside of me will want to be back here.


                Other anxieties are coming up. What am I going to do after the Philippines? What about school, what should I major in, what classes?  Am I ever going to come back? What about home, am I going to work, what ministry can I be involved in? My head is swirling. There are all these things I want to do. Praise the Lord though that I have a God that comes and calms me down.


                School: Sorry this is so jumbled. School is over this week- sad. After this Carrie and I will be running a tutoring program for three weeks on Wednesdays and Thursdays and then the other days I'll split between a drop in center for needy kids and an orphanage. I'm going to miss my kids like crazy. We've been leading the choir lately and they are frustrating the snot out of me, but I still love them.


                I'm sorry this blog is all over the place. There isn't a whole lot that's new. I feel like there should be, but there's not. Things really are going well. God is moving in the school and on the team and I love it. I love seeing Him in the eyes of the people. Prayer requests: For the students. That they'll know why I'm here and who sent me, that they'll forget me and see Jesus.


New pictures up!


peace!
