It's the start of something new...

Today marks the start of something new in my life.
This day will most likely determine what I am going to be doing here in the future after I graduate. At least for a while until God calls me to something else.
This is terrifying and absolutely exciting all jumbled together.
To be a House Mother would be a great honor, to be a part of these kids lives, to share with them, love them, encourage them, challenge them, disciple them, to be a parent to them.
Such a major responsibility and I would be so extremely blessed to share in this opportunity.
I know that it will most likely be the most challenging thing I have ever experienced, helping take care of at least 20 kids on a day-to-day basis, of all different ages.
But if it is what God has called me to, then I know He will bring me through it (Thanks Aimeeta)! He is faithful like that and He does not abandon His children.
I know that God is going to do the impossible in and through me as long as I stay willing and teachable. So as I am praying for myself and for these kids, please be praying for me.
Because I know that it is not me, that I can do nothing without Christ. He makes me able.
I just want to be obedient to His call and to be willing to do what He asks, no matter how difficult some circumstances may be. I want to take the things I have learned, and learn from the people of this culture, and be a good House Mother to these kids. Because it is about these kids.
It is about loving them, nurturing them, encouraging them, challenging them, praying for them, raising them up to be men and women of God who will go out and serve Him in all things.
To God be all the glory, forever and ever.
