Work Changes

So much has been changing and happening since my visit to the States this past February. The Lord definitely spoke to me through many people while I was home and prepared me to start thinking and prying about change and following His leading.
While away from Vietnam, I began realizing and identifying talents and passions I have in my everyday life, as being valuable assets to Gd and that He created me to be this way on purpose, for His purpose. I've been learning now how to embrace these things as wonderful and not comparing myself to those I see and revere as "all-star" believers, serving the Lord in "better" and "more valuable" ways than I am.
I am a SUPPORTER, ENCOURAGER, and even a MOBILIZER! =) I am continuing to learn about this and discover what it means, but I am loving the process and finding so much freedom in accepting His calling on my life and I am excited to see what else He will teach me and reveal to me about the work He is doing and how He wants me to be involved and join Him. I have no doubts that there are many surprises and revelations waiting for me around the corner. What an incredible state of expectation to be in, not hoping for the Father to reveal Himself, but expecting Him to with confidence and assurance.
As of May 15 I will no longer be teaching English at the English center, due to some recent changes in policy of the HIS Years program. I have started volunteering with an organization called Orphan Voice (www.orphanvoice.org). They do orphan relief work, child sponsorship, medical care, etc. I am the "Friendship Team Coordinator." I organize and coordinate volunteer teams who will come here to serve, helping them with travel arrangements, accommodations, scheduling their activities and service while here, and everything related. I've also taken on tasks of assisting the director of the organization in his travel planning, as well as some administrative duties like filtering information for him to read and giving him summaries of important documents. I LOVE IT. I never thought that these "guilty" pleasures I have could be what the Father created me do to in support of advancing His kingdom. I thought it had to look a certain way, or you weren't doing EVERYthing possible to serve Him. I am so humbled in learning this, and also so overwhelmed by His love and power. He is THE creator and the author of THE master plan. How cool is that?? Amazing.
