Have you ever had a job so big put in front of you you don't know where to start?
We had our first day of new staff orientation today and it was almost overwhelming thinking of all the things that I need to do before the school year starts and then setting up my classroom, as well as trying to get adjusted to just living in the Philippines. I think I'm starting to feel the pressure of culture shock and how stressful this may be. I didn't think it would come on so quickly, but I feel like I can't do anything that used to be "normal" for me.
This is my prayer for today:
Lord please help me to be patient and loving to those around me. Please fill my heart with patience and peace, so that I might be able to better focus on serving you rather than doing what is comfortable to me. I am leaving my comfort zone for you Lord, not for myself. Thank you for choosing me to go on this journey, that I might help further the Kingdom of God. Something that is so much bigger than myself. This is just a constant reminder of how little I am and how little control I have in my life.
