Thursday...I think :)

It is kind of easy to lose track of what day it is around here! :) We have had another great day. We are getting more and more into a routine and settled in. The kids had another great day at school and Tim and I had another full day of learning.
I mentioned before that Tim and I were small group leaders. Well, we had our first meeting with our small group tonight. There are 12 people total and we will meet each day to pray and worship together. We are going to have the opportunity to get to know them really well. In our group there are several young college age kids. They are going on a 2 year term to serve in various places. What struck me about these kids was how excited they are about what God has called them to do. It just did my heart good to be around them and listen to them talk about their passion for going to the nations. I love it that my kids get to hang out with them too, what great role models.
I can already tell that we are going to be challenged a lot in the next 8 weeks. One of our classes today was on personal evangelism. I will be honest and tell you that this is not my strong suit. Our teacher said something today that really hit home with me. We could go to Panama and live among these people and encourage them and get to know them and love on them like they have never been loved on before, but unless we take the time and tell them about the saving power of Jesus Christ, we will have failed in our mission. Challenging. I am praying for boldness and opportunities to share! I challenge you to do the same. :)
