May 2007 update

On May 14th, I was approved to return early from leave and am currently teaching middle school music, the position I left two years ago. We have one week of school left! Though my position has been eliminated for next year, it sounds as though I will be teaching 4 sections of high school Spanish and one section of middle school Spanish. I trust that the Lord is leading this change.

I am still unsure whether to take some Spanish credits in the fall or to begin a Masters program. Still praying about that. Regardless I need to study something in order to keep my teaching certificate current.

Kevin Stewart is helping me look for a house. I have a couple great options right now, but am debating how to best serve the Lord with this new investment.

I have definitely been blessed but have had my struggles along the way. Please pray for wisdom as I need guidance on several issues and know that the Lord is the only One who can provide the answers.

It’s official! My plane ticket is bought for June 29th. I will be returning to Honduras for about a month to work with a group from Georgia and help with a VBS, sponsor/student correspondence in the Christian School in Trujillo, and work projects. Then, my mother will join me as we plan to distribute supplies, food etc. and take Carmen Garcia to a check-up in San Pedro Sula. Please pray that the Lord would oversee and bless these plans as details are often unpredictable and to a certain degree uncontrollable.

Because of the scholarship program, several students are now finishing the first half of their ’07 school year. Please read about May’s student of the month, Wendy Paola Rodriguez Romero.

I recently went to the And Still We Rise exhibit at the Museum of African-American History in downtown Detroit. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The exhibit takes the viewer through the sights and sounds that an African would have experienced before, during and after slavery. It is very well done and very touching, especially if you have been to Africa, but even if you have not. At one point, I said to myself, “It is amazing what men will do for money,” and prayed that we would never again allow such a travesty to occur.

This past week Susan Carter, Ron Carter's wife, passed away. They have been involved with the work in Honduras for years. Please pray for peace for the family. Ron has a very faithful outlook.

I pray that we would view whatever comes our way through the eyes of faith!
