Morning Traffic

The ladies in my Tuesday morning bible study commented today about how happy I am at my new position. I am going to start referring to it as "Gideon Project" from now on. It's easier that way. Plus, that was written on part of the contract I signed today. Yes, I am officially under contract as a volunteer now! I had to agree not to abuse any kids and to follow the rules of Gideon Project. At the end my co-worker said, "Now I will tell you 'Welcome!' officially!" I thought I was already official. The papers are signed. I am happy and proud to be officially part of such a great organization full of amazing people.

Yesterday we had our weekly devotional. I absolutely LOVE serving at a place that starts their week in prayer. We sang, a professional singer sang for us, a pastor from outside the organization spoke about the importance of prayer. He was funny and thought provoking. Then we had a time of planning for the week to come.

This week is full of holidays. Once again, nobody can tell me what we are celebrating. Everything is closed Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday.

At my Tuesday morning bible study I learned that 7 people were nominated as regional representatives for my area of Honduran Fellowship. I accepted my nomination. I also learned that I was nominated by the leadership of Honduran Fellowship! That is so cool! Now that I have thrown my hat into the race I really hope to win. I would represent 118 adults, plus 7 organizations. I am concerned I don't know enough people to win.

Last night I sat down and wrote my monthly newsletter. It is in the editing process right now. The self confidence boost I received through God's healing on Sunday made that newsletter the easiest I've ever written. I loved writing about all of the cool things that are going on. After looking back through this blog it became clear that God is doing a lot of things in my life right now through the Gideon Project, studying under Pastora Ruth in the classes about preaching at church, and even the nomination, which I did not share in my newsletter because it happened in October.
