Preschool

It’s true! I have fallen in love with the children at preschool.  Teaching them has become a joy rather than a burden.  After all these weeks, I finally know every ones their names.  There’s still a language barer that I terribly wish it could have magically disappeared a long time ago.  I desire this for different reasons.   1) It would making teaching a whole lot easier.  (Even though I have learned some words in their mother tongue and have learned how to talk to them in a way they might be able to comprehend.) 2)  Just like any...

Here’s a little somethin

The past two weeks have been full of challenges and blessings alike, like most weeks. One challenge in particular was the fact that my body is still having a hard time keeping up with my heart and my mind. Coming out of surgery and getting used to the groove of things was at times exhausting and most of the time pretty frustrating. When your in a place where your work is where your heart is it’s hard to let yourself rest. God is still showing me how take it easy and take care of my body…I have a feeling that He will be teaching me that for years…ha.  As far as our...

YOU WON’T RELENT.

There’s a family with five children who all come to the tuition program that we work with. Four of the five kids are crippled to varying degrees. The two crippled girls can both walk, although their legs are mangled and the two boys both have to be carried from place to place, but scoot pretty well around a room. We go by the boys house every single day and ask if they’re coming to tuition. If they are, we usually pick them up and take them with us. The youngest boy, I’ll call him Madarsab, stopped coming to tuition a couple of weeks ago. He had called one of our contacts...

Just Beyond The Horizon

Sweat.  Blood.  Toil.  Ambition.  Noises surround and the battle around you seems to cave in closer and closer at every angle you glace.  Sweat spills from your brow.  Everything seems to become a blur.  However, you sharply and swiftly rotate your sword around you, jabbing at the enemy.  As you do, your shield is gliding to protect you from the fiery darts that surround. In the heat of a battle it could be very easy to grow weary, but you are armed from head to foot and you stand firm. You stand strong.  And just when the enemy seems to be...
