Project Blog 10

Well, the semester is done, and I just finished my time at LSS for this semester.  It was so incredibly different then usual, and it was awesome.  I went with Sharon to Savers (YES!) and got 3 winter jackets for 3 Somali kids that are flying in tonight at 9 from the airport.  I pray that God will bless their lives and that Jesus would be the one to warm their hearts this winter. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, going and doing something different then just paperwork (like I was going to have to do) and Sharon and I had an amazing conversation.  It was all about how we feel about overall paper work, and wanting to really make a difference in the refugees lives/overall the human rights issue... but feeling like we're just kinda filling out paperwork. But she says she understands this is a launching point for what she hopes will be something that she can really get into it and help with human rights.  I hear a lot of me in what she has to say... and I think it's awesome to see someone else with that passion and how she deals with it.  We talked about the pros and cons of "Case working" (going to the refugees houses and helping them with going to doctors and schools and stuff). She really is worth working at LSS, I'm so glad to have met her! Another thing I love about LSS is when families come in consistantly, like the family from the Congo. They came in 4-5 times, every time I was there, and it was so great because as we went on with the conversations, we got more and more comfortable with each other.  I really like it. 
SO, overall, the headaches are some what leaving... and I'm getting a bit more satisfied with LSS, especially because it has taught me what I DON'T want to do in order to help the refugees. I still don't know about "case work" stuff or not, because I tihnk Sharon had some valid points to it.  We'll see.  Life is huge, and I have all the time that God allows to explore how to serve him. Thank God!
