This morning we had a special time of worship as a staff to thank God for all He has done in this first week of school. I have been bursting at the seams to sing and then it occured to me that I could ask God for opportunities to worship Him in that way, and then we sang this morning and I was blessed. Mickey, the new 4th grade teacher that God brought here, has a beautiful voice and it was wonderful to sing together. At La Vid, a church I have visited, God has confirmed through worship that I am in the right place. . . we sang songs that I learned at Urbana, the missions conference, where I also learned of Doulos (our campus pictured at the top of this blog). Also, the first week I was here, I saw a young couple on tv who I met at the conference where I spoke in January, and I was reminded of all of the specific prayers that were prayed for me that have been answered–that God will lead me to speak for Him in new places, that He will take care of my family at home, and that I am precious to Him and He will protect me. I am very grateful that God speaks in such personal ways, and grateful to be part of a staff that looks together to God each morning for wisdom and direction and seeks to lift up Jesus in our lives together. Please pray that I will hear His voice more and more clearly and most of all, obey it so He may have His way in my life–our lives.
Hi, Ms. Nichols! Long time, no talk. It’s nice to see you are doing well in the Dominican. My mom gave me the link to your blog and I was just reading it. It looks like you’re making a big difference, there. I think it’s awesome.
Anyway, I’ve missed seeing you everyday. Reading some of your entries reminds me of how funny you are. “Hasta pronto!” Ridiculous! Anyway, I’ll keep reading and I’ll try to drop a line here and there. I hope to hear from you soon. Good luck with everything!
Love,
PATRICK!
