Today was such a good day for me. I went into church to talk about my internship with them and what I will be doing over the summer. As we talked I got more and more excited about my job. I'll be doing all kinds of things.
Teaching Sunday School for senior highs and college
Youth night
Triennium
Outdoor Challenge
Cleaning the rec closet
Overnight for theme and water parks
Montreat
Vacation Bible School
Massanetta Middle School
Volunteer RBI, recreation
Youth Dancers
Global and Local Missions
Working with inner city homeless kids
and some more odds and ins
We have great ideas and guess what!?! I'm going to have a name plate and an office. A NAME PLATE! That's so crazy for me because I've always been with recreation and never stay in the same place long enough for people to find me. That will still be the case but still, it makes me feel important. Plus as you can guess things have been hard for me being back in the states. I really miss Haiti but I can't go back yet and so I felt kind of stuck. Not now. Now I have something to hold my attention and give me a focus, new passion and motivation. A new goal. That's what I was looking for, what I needed. I have such a great feeling about this summer that I know God has me right where I'm meant to be. I also feel like there will be great responsibility that comes with this job and I can now say that I’m ready for it. I grew up a lot in Haiti and feel ready for life, for this job, for a challenge. I also talked to a summer friend while eating ice cream with my feet in the pool and the stars overhead. I miss him and I've been so far away from that part of my life that it was nice to remember and go back. I've grown up but still that good fun mountain girl that you know so well who will get her toes muddy and try something new. I thank you for your friendship and for just being you.
It's a comfort to know that somehow I never left haiti. That tonight I sit under the same stars. The same stars that you you will be sleeping under and all our kids. the same stars that my parents can see and all the people i love. I give praise for the stars tonight.
know that I'm ok. I'm ok.

i'm so happy to hear about your summer! I know that you are going to LOVE that and do so well. I am up in Asheville right now, and I wish you were here to see. I can't wait to hear everything, see your face (the new hair!), hug you. Have a great Easter. Remember on this day our Lord died for us. Amen. Love you Megan
