90 Time for God volunteers from across the world in Wales=awesome week of reflection, refreshment, and beautiful scenery. I still can't believe I've been here for 4 months...I'm excited for God's plans in the upcoming months. Wales is so lovely...green hills, open fields, sheep grazing...I highly recommend it! After being in a busy city, I appreciate time being in the country, hiking, and a change of pace. Reminded me a bit of Seattle with the rain and trees.
We were separated in four groups; relating our volunteering year to Bible verses, a drama performed at the end of the week, film/story-telling, and arts/crafts. I enjoyed watching Gran Torino and how it related to our year...such a powerful movie if you haven't seen it. We discussed how it will be hard going back to the states and telling our stories of volunteering abroad. You really cannot put it in words. That's why I'm taking plenty of pictures...but in 12 words, I would describe my time as: Woodford, Bible study, Sunday School, laughter, fun, Olympics, loving, Jesus, challenging, youth, Family, and growing.
I wrote out a list of goals for the rest of my time here/prayer requests:
- Make deeper relationships with friends, church staff, and home-stay
- Blessings others in the community
- Feel at home
- Have fun :) To be thankful for each day
- Grow in Bible study/home group
- Travel...take advantage of living in Europe
- Learn how to cook proper English food
- Asking God for wisdom
"But as for me, I will look to the Lord and confident in Him I will keep watch; I will wait with HOPE and expectancy for the God of my salvation; my God will HEAR me." -Micah 7:7
