I’ve never experienced so much rain in my life. Seriously.
Today it is raining. Yesterday was only the 4th day in the past 3 1/2 weeks that it has been sunny. Who knew it could/would ever rain so much? On the bright side, today is Saturday so we had outreach scheduled on the beach from 1-3:30. Well, because of the rain, instead they encouraged us to write letters/wall posts/messages/pray for people in our lives. A bunch of us got together to pray for our co-workers specifically, and it was so good to just spend time in prayer with one another. Sometimes we forget that prayer is just as important as sharing a KGP with someone, because it’s not directly witnessing to someone. But really, it’s SO important! One girl on my team, Sarah, mentioned the Shane & Shane song “You Said” and how it really goes along with what we are doing here.
You said/ Ask and I’ll give the nations to you/ Oh Lord, that’s the cry of my heart/ Distant shores and the islands will see Your light/ As it rises on us
You know, people talk about reaching the nations and going to different countries to share Christ, but here in Ocean City, the nations have come to us! Almost all of us work with at least 2 or 3 internationals, and they’re from ALL over the place. If we could impact just a few, they would take that back to their countries, and then there could be an amazing ripple effect. How cool would THAT be?
But the thing is, even if it sounds so amazing, I’m having such a hard time wanting to share with people. I haven’t had very many good experiences so far, and it’s just hard to walk up to a random person and be like hey, let me tell you about Jesus! I’m really praying that God would give me a desire to share with others, and that I would be bold in sharing my faith and take initiative. Because right now, I’m just in a funky mood about all of it. I think Satan is really trying to pull me down. And flying home for 5 of the past 14 days has also really disoriented me…I feel like I’m not fully immersed in either place because I have been going back and forth so much. I felt involved, and then I went home, and then I was again, and then I went home again, and now I’m just…confused? So I’m praying that God would really pull me back in and give me boldness and the strength to become fully involved in project again.
I don’t really have much to say as far as what we have been doing, because I was gone Monday through Wednesday of this week for Grandmama’s memorial service. Work is going pretty well. I’ve been a food runner these past two days, which I really like because I get to talk to people and I’m kept busy. Thursday was a CRAZY day–it rained, so everyone came inside to eat, and we went nonstop from 11 to 4! I was a food runner/busgirl, so I was cleaning tables, running food, taking stuff to the kitchen, running more food, cleaning again, etc. etc! It was stressful, but I think I made alot of $$$ in tips so that’s exciting. Also, when I’m a food runner you have alot more opportunities to talk to the waitresses and expediters because you stand around with them until you have something to do. So that’s been good.
We were supposed to go putt putting last Saturday, but it rained, so we moved it to this Saturday. And it is still raining. So tonight we are going to an indoor one! I’m excited.
Other than that, not much else to report. Hope you are all doing great
