Growth

This week was huge in many ways. We had a group come from johnson ferry baptist church from Georgia come this week. They had 260 people plus us. We helped as staff for the project. My role was helping translate for construction and also helping with encouragement. i worked with a few different teams in that role and I did well for as much spanish as I know. i began to see God shaping me for this summer and preparing me for my leadership role in Kentucky. I had a couple of times where he just really spoke to me through others. I had been kind of feeling like my original role which was supposed to be vacation bible school was not important but God told me different through someone else. that person told me God said your role is important. That was big for me. Also I just began to feel not important as a person and was praying about some of that and again God spoke to me through some one else and they said chad you are a joy to have around that really rocked my world. How when I had to times where i felt down God showed up and met me where I was. Also I have had some other things that I need to learn to just express my self and not hold back my true feelings keeping them inside is just causing me destruction. God is really open me to this. I began to just lash out at a person i was angry with and come to find out today he is no longer going to be my leader not because of that but because of his actions. I have mixed emotions when it comes to this i really can’t explain it is hard right know I am still processing. I feel God is making me to step up and have the courage i need to fight the spirtual battles in me and around me. Please pray for the rest of my time here as i will be the only male living with 9 girls. I am not worried about it yeah it will be different but a new challenge. I have great support in a guy who is helping our team and I have my Mexico family to talk to and i can also talk to my teammates. so here I go on a journey of a different kind until the end in may 15.
