The Process of Processing

Two months. Two very long, very swift months. I was at Orphanage Emmanuel (OE) for two months, as you know and I am changed forever. How much time does God need to change a life? For some, an instant. For me, He used the time frame of two months. This week as I process and reflect I want you to be a part of it a little bit. It only seems right because you were a part of my going, a part of my success, and a part of my change. How? you may ask. Chiefly through your prayers, and also through the support and love you were sending me as I was at OE.

Today I will overview my time at OE and just let you know, every one of the prayer requests you prayed for and I prayed during the time I was there were answered. Every one. My time was meaningful and amazing and I pray I get the chance to return. For those that don't know I was working in a house with 55 little boys, ages 7-11. They were about as crazy as you can imagine and they stole my heart. All of my heart and I don't even want it back.

The first few weeks were really hard. But, after week three rolled around, every day was better than the last. I mean it. Christmas was the best I have ever had in my life. The Lord taught me so many cool things and I wish I could tell and show you all the things He did in me, but how can I? It's an impossible task.

So tomorrow or Monday check the blog again and I will hopefully have some sort of creative way to share my time at OE with you.

Thank you for all your prayers. God is so good.
