I still haven't had any job leads, so I spent the rest of the week at the Hopewell ministry site and totally loved every minute of it! I came here in hopes of having an impact of the people of this city, but I'm finding out they're having more of an impact on me! Totally awesome. On our last day at Hopewell, Tim (project student) lead a little boy named Maurice to Christ. Afterwards he ran up to me so excited and yelled, "I have Jesus in my heart!!!" It was adorable...a perfect image of what child-like faith looks like.
Lately I've been feeling a tug on my heart to join the vocational ministry. At this point it seems very doubtful (but not impossible) that I'll get a job anyway. I really love working at the ministry sites! God's given me a strong desire to work with inner city kids. I know I work with kids a lot throughout the year, but being here is so much different. My purpose here is to share the Gospel and the light of Christ. Back home I can't do that as easily. Plus, there's not much "inner city" where I live. I can definitely see inner city teaching/ministry being a longterm career for me, and maybe that's why God brought me here this summer! I would really appreciate your prayers for discernment for God's will and on which track I belong.
So last night we had our second social! We went outside of Milwaukee to a family's lake house who are mutual friends with some of our staff (I think). They have a BEAUTIFUL home and many recreational toys =) We spent the evening riding around in a pontoon boat, cruisin' in a speed boat/wake boarding [which I can finally say I've done! Not successfully though, ha! Instead, I pulled a muscle.. =)], we swam in the lake and the indoor pool, played cornhole, shot off some fireworks, and ended the night singing around a campfire. Faaaantastic night! I just uploaded pictures on facebook if you would like to see the evidence from the extravaganza =)
