So, the whole blogging every night didn't exactly work out. So sorry if anyone was keeping up with it. I know I had several people ask me about it.
Upon my return from Honduras, I have had many thoughts running through my head about my future. I am not 100% sure about this, but I truly feel that I am called to Honduras. During the last few days of the trip, our team went out and viewed some property that was for sale. As we looked at the land, Richie, our group leader, was saying the possibilities of what we could do with it. A few missionary houses here, a few other houses here, fix up this house here. I began to get so excited because it just felt so right. I felt as if it was where we were supposed to be as a team. Actually, while we were walking the property, Diana came up to me and said "What do you think? Can you see us here?" My response: YES! I feel that if we are to purchase land there, we would be able to make such a large impact in Choluteca.
So since we've been back in the US, my mind has been on Honduras all day every day. I just keep thinking of different possibilities of what I can do with my life. And here's what I'm thinking, as of right now. I know it's a big decision, but I really feel like it's what I'm supposed to do, as of right now. But maybe things will change. We'll just have to see what God has in store as the time gets closer.
So, after graduating from Greenville with a degree in Elementary Education, I'm thinking I might move to Honduras, IF our team purchases land. (and obviously, I would have to take all of this up with the mission team as well. Keep in mind, this isn't anything for sure, this is just me writing down thoughts going through my head.) Also, if the team has a lot of land, I would like to open up a children/teen after-school program. It would be sort of like a safe haven, or a safe place where kids without adequate shelter, food, supplies, etc, could come and work on schoolwork. We could offer things such as tutoring, counseling, bible studies, free meals, shower centers, etc.
So, there you have it. That's all I've thought of so far. As far as paying for it, I was thinking maybe I could get a few churches to sponsor it. Obviously, if I'm going to teach down there, that's NOT going to be enough money. But I have faith that if this is what God has in store for my life, he is going to work things out in his time.
With that, I would LOVE to get responses. Ideas, opinions, suggestions, anything. So go. (:
