How Exciting! Im at 85% of my goal and counting. My hope is to be assigned to my post in a week. Its crazy how God moves in all of this, I had over 17% happen in less than a week. It has also been a great experience, to see people and groups pray for me in this. I have been overwhelmed with prayers and words of encouragement in this time. My first official day was supposed to be yesterday, but only a week behind in all of this is really good considering all the circumstances.

Keep praying for me as I continue into this last week of finding partners to come along for this journey to seek out men and woman for Christ!

This is becoming a reality.

This weekend our staff team got together for a great time of bonding, and strengthening our team as we head into the fray. Most of the time was meant for us to really build our relationships with each other by learning of, and discussing our strengths. Taking the strength finders test was actually very affective to help discover where my energy is best placed. I have always been skeptical of such tests, but i was pleasantly surprised. My strengths are as follows in order...
Achiever-People who are especially talented in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard. They take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.
Positivity People who are especially talented in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is
contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.

Woo - People who are especially talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new
people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a
connection with another person.

Relator - People who are especially talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others.
They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.

Communication - People who are especially talented in the Communication theme generally find
their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.

I find this to be very accurate.

In other amazing news, the school year has not even begun, and a student has come to CHRIST!!! A previously agnostic student who has been staying with one of our staff members for some time, came to know the Lord last night :D I am so blessed to be able to be apart of what God is doing in BG.
