This is the 9th week I have been in Saipan and it was an awful week. One of those where you step back and question, “Why am I here?” But today is Friday and one of my favorite song’s is playing right now…
“and I will live to carry your compassion
To love a world that’s broken
to be your hands and feet
and I will give
with the life that I have been given
and go beyond religion to see the world be changed
by the power of your name”
and it sorta puts things into perspective. Because today I am breathing. and I still have a job. Which on my small island is something 1,400 can’t say today. Our government is shut down until a balanced budget is passed. Scary. So I will focus on the fact that I am here because God has called me here and because I can be the hands and feet of Jesus here. So while my week was less than great, it is over and tomorrow is a new day and a new week will start and provide a fresh slate for teaching, life, and all of the things that it consists of!
