Project Impact update!!!
We are entering week 4!!
That is absolutely mind blowing.
In those four weeks I have developed meaningful friendship with so many people here. People from other schools, our staff and coworkers. After non-stop job hunting the first couple of days God provided jobs for every single person here at project. God placed me in a daycare. Yes, laugh because I did. Not to mock my job or belittle it but I am not good with kids whatsoever. I have learned a lot in the 2 full weeks of working there. A lot about kids, but in that God has been humbling me. This is something I wouldn't have picked for myself or where I thought I would end up. That's why I laugh, God works in the coolest ways.
(I work with 2 year olds! I love my class they are cutest kids.)
God is teaching me and surprising me everyday, especially with this bunch of little ones.
(this is a pic from my first day of work!)
I was talking with Connor the other day and we decided the best way to explain our training and the endless things we are being taught on top of the countless ways we are continuing to grow our relationship with Christ, is that we are drinking from a running facet constantly.
I am constantly thanking God for placing me here. I have a whole new perspective of what community looks like from being here. The challenges we are faced with are ones that we will face back at school and in the work field when we graduate. To be honest I am so overwhelmed with all of the information and things I am learning, especially about myself. I am shocked by how little world experience I've had. I didn't realize how living in a small town had effected my perspective so much, even with me going out of state for college, I am still in a little bubble.
We have been doing these small trainings on global experiences on other religions and other cultures foods and I am very thankful for them.
Approaching this fourth week makes me want to cry. I love it here. Lawrence has a lot of character, A lot different from Decatur, Texas that's for sure.
Random but I started this thing called "Sunrise Saturdays" here where we go get up and watch the sunrise at 5 in the morning on Saturdays. I really love it and am thankful for the people who join me every week.
(this is my small group)
I can't wait to see how God works in all of us within the next couple of weeks. Please continue to write letters to me, I love getting home from work to read them!
Love, Celine
freshmen year in wraps
June 14, 2018 • College Life
Freshmen year.
I can't believe I just finished my freshmen year.
I wanted to do a big blog post about everything I learned and everything else like tips and whatever else I had once looked for going into my freshmen year. But... I realize now that no matter what I say or advice I give it won't really matter. Everyone has such completely different college experiences and post high school life for that matter.
It's all in God's hands.
All I can say it continue to pray and pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Challenge yourself.
Break your bubble.
Be completely true to yourself.
And life will happen from there.
I loved everyone and everything about my first year. I cried and laughed, it was great.
I love who I have become and seeing my testimony grow. Leave a prayer request if you are headed back to school this fall! so much is to come!!
Love, Celine
