"work" and my GPS!

sooo... I'm sure everyone is kind of wondering what I am actually doing while I am here at the Hope House. I know that from Facebook it may seem that I am doing no "work." I am currently interning here at the home and my job is to relieve the resident director and the other workers in home. As you can imagine working in safe home for girls who are victims of sex trafficking is no easy job. Living where you work can be extremely hard and it takes a special person for that job. The goal of the home is create a Christian home atmosphere for the girls. Every morning when they wake up there is an option for devotional and then they start home school work. In the afternoon they can have visitors and do activities, like the other day they went to a marshal arts class. My role in all of this is be like a big sister to girls, hang out with them, and be there if they want to talk. I technical do not start working until 3pm, but really if you are in the home it's important to always be available. So yea, nothing too exciting yet.. but it's only day 3 so we will see what happens.






the room that I am staying in!!

I got myself a GPS before I came here... I love that little electronic! Haven't named it yet.. any ideas? It's really has come in handy! Since I am very unfamiliar with area, I totally rely on the GPS's for guidance. Whether it's for food, going to the house, or where ever! I would be totally lost without it.. yea I am not too good with maps either.. so I am sticking to the GPS. It also has all these cool choices like I can save locations, look for shopping or food places.. love it!



My little GPS reminds me of how important it is trust and follow God with our life's direction. For example, me in the mountains without a GPS would be like a life without God. I would end up lost, tired, hungry, and out of gas.. ha, needless to say without God's direction we end up unsatisfied, confused and totally LOST! God is be our guide, He is our personal navigation system that has our destination pre-programmed. All we have to do is hit it "Go!" and listen to the Navigator's voice. God will direct you where he wants you, but you have to be willing to listen and follow. My GPS would not be much help at alll if I refused to drive my car! Just like my GPS shows how to get from point A to point B; God does the same for us. If you are unsure of why you are here, or where you are going..maybe it's time to rely on God for guidance and stop using your own map! After alll.. it says "seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path is to take" Proverbs 3:6
