We leave Guatemala today. It's been one crazy, long, tough, amazing month. It's hard to believe it's already over but I'm so thankful that it's done. I've learned that working with special needs children (or adults) is not my forte. But, I do want to make aware to more people their plight. I want to give orphans hope. I want to bring them to a place where people can know them, where people have the opportunity to see their needs, where people have the opportunity to adopt them. It's rare that people would just stumble upon a website on google even if they were to type in general words like "adoption" "special needs" "Guatemala".
I truly believe that's one of the reasons why God allowed the World Race to start – to bring a light to those who are unseen, to give hope to those who have never thought it possible. I'm excited to see how this idea sparks and ignites. I really just want to do what the spirit leads me and help people in any way I can, even if it's a different scenario.
That being said, I have two more months of travel until I'm back in the states. I fly into NYC on the 28th of July. My plan is to take the greyhound instead of flying and spend 2-3 weeks in Michigan, 1 week in Georgia and then road trip to Denver where I am hoping to find a nanny job. Something that I can do for a year before I go to Metro State College of Denver for my MSW (that I will be applying to after I finish the race). Pray for God's provision as I don't know how I'm going to afford to do all these things without a job right away. Pray that God would bless me with a vehicle in September so that I can apply for more nanny jobs and that I would find a nanny job that would suit me, that would pay decently so that I can start paying off student loans and saving for Grad School. Also, pray that my application for grad school would be accepted.
