ECUADOR Bound!!!
It has been a very long time since I last provided an update on my life. I find that I am on here so much, reading everyone else's post and whatnot, that I forget that I myself haven't written.
My life is really good right now. The second semester is well underway and i am enjoying nearly every aspect of it. I am so busy most of time and struggle to find time to just be quiet and be in the presence of God, this is especially difficult when I am spending my time doings that I see as good and necessary like all of my school work and volunteering, and spending quality time with others. What do I cut out in order to pursue my Father?
The exciting news right now is that I am leaving for Ecuador in a little under 2 weeks!!!!! and have such great excitment for that fact. I am going to Guayaquil, Ecuador for a week over my reading break to help run a children's camp and also doing building work on their church. I have been planning on going on this trip for awhile now, but it has always just been rather in the background with all the other things of life. But now it is almost here and I am so very excited for the opportunity to return to South America and hang out with a bunch of children, who are so loved by our Father. Now what I didn't mention is that this is a socceer camp, which is quite obviously out of my element, based on how frequently I played socceer last year in the regular games. :) Although I know that there are going to be many ways for me to contribute to this camp, I will admit I'm afraid of being quite useless there.
I know that the decision to go on this trip was impractical, in terms of it costing more money than I have to spend and the schoolwork I'm going to get behind on and the timing being right before flying out to Ellie's wedding and that I don't kn ow a thing about soccer. But despite all those things I felt that God was telling me to go for it without looking back, so that is what I'm trying to do, but it is somewhat hard.
If you could be in prayer for my team and I as we do final prep and as we are down there, I would appreciate it so much. Just for God to be given all the glory, and for all our actions to serve that purpose.
I truly love all of you and love hearing about what is going on in your hearts and lives through the blog. I am so much looking forward to seeing a good deal of you in just over a months time.
Love and Peace In Christ,
Catherine

DD! so I must be honest and say that I am extremely jealous that you get to return to South America, and see little children there!!!! I'll be praying for you and your team on this (are you going to send out prayer updates while you're there?). Sounds like God is stretching you in a lot of ways through this trip, I'm excited to hear about it when you get back!
