The Gumby Principle

So I knew that this would have to come out eventually. God has really been doing a number on me.. I have always thought that I understood the whole concept of "Blessed are the Flexible for they will not be bent out of shape". I have been on several mission trips and that has been a consistent theme... but I feel like that principle is going to be something that will be a huge learning experience for me throughout preparation for this summer. I have a pretty good idea of what I will be doing this summer, but a lot of the preparation (curriculum planning) will happen in the first week that I am there, with all of the other interns. My supervisor said that I should be learning as much as I can about different ways that I can teach an English class. Fortunately for me, I am in ESL Methods and Materials, and we are learning just that (which includes some homework that I should be doing today). This is scary for me, because I want to prepare as much as I can on the front end of things, but God is faithful and He will not give me more than I can handle. As a dear friend reminded me this morning, God is a God of order... He's got this :) Thank you for all your prayers and support.
In His Arms,
Monica
