Hi everyone,
I hope that you are doing well!
I’m not going to lie, writing this update is pretty challenging because so much has happened, is happening, and will happen, that it is hard for me to keep up….
- The biggest news is that we had our first summer retreat this past week. Things were crazy, but it all went well. It’s actually hard for me to fully process that we have and are able to do summer retreats after all of the time that we have prayed for them to actually happen.
- I’ve been placed as supervisor for our Housekeeping group. It has been so much fun to have a couple of staff that I’m able to invest more time in as I try to train them about what our new daily and bi-weekly cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting procedures are.
- I’m mentoring two girls this summer. I absolutely love them both and I’ve been so excited to see how much they have grown spiritually over the past couple of years.
- God is daily providing just enough energy to make it through the day. My mom has always said that it is important that I stay flexible about things in life, otherwise I will be bent out of shape. But in this season, I’m getting tired of being flexible as we seem to continue to pivot with our summer plans and procedures.
A few things I would love prayer for are:
- God would give me energy, joy, and patience as we are getting ready to have our first week of having two summer retreats in a week.
- I would have wisdom and knowledge when meeting with one of my girls that I’m mentoring (the other one is going out of town for a few weeks). She is asking great questions and I’m not totally sure how to answer them….one of her questions that I’m with of how to answer is how do you love God more? I know that the more time that I read the Bible and pray my relationship and love for God grows. But are there other ways that this can happen?
- I would be able to see God’s goodness as He works this next week.
Thanks for all of your prayers!
Natalie
