[Saturday, February 05, 2005]
I was enjoying the beautiful day by taking a walk up to the church on the hill. Wearing a sleeveless shirt made me feel a little odd as I passed the poblanos with their sweaters and coats on. I admit that it was somewhat overcast and there was a cool wind blowing, but nevertheless it felt like spring to me. As I was walking I turned around to see La Malinche clearly in the distance, as if I could reach out and touch it. Then to my other side were Popo and Itza. Popo was blowing thick smoke out of its top. How I will miss that walk to the top of the hill that overlooks Puebla when I return to the US. Ahh, but I'm so glad for the wonderful memories I have here. My walk just enhanced my joy today. It's been a good week. School was about the same as normal, although my students have been helping me celebrate my birthday month. My birthday isn't until the 19th, but for about a week I've been receiving "Happy Birthday Miss Starkey" pictures and notes. It's fun. February is going to be a very busy month, especially the second half of it.
Next Friday evening is the school Valentine Party for the high schoolers. The teachers are invited also. Then, we will have a class party on the 14th. On the 16th I am speaking in chapel. On the 17th I have a meeting with the PCS Recruitment Strategy Team. On the 18th I will probably have a special meal with my friends to celebrate my b-day and the 19th is my b-day plus there is a 50th birthday party for one of my friends here on my birthday. Then, at the end of the month I'm going to a Youth leadership retreat at the camp. It will be a weekend of Spanish and learning from God's word. I'm really looking forward to it. Of course March is going to be busy also, but I will wait until later to tell you about that.
So, I'll have plenty to keep me busy( as if I'm not busy enough already) in the next few weeks.
Well, like I mentioned, I was asked to be on the recruitment team and I'm excited about it. We are truly in need of teachers. We actually are lacking help right now. SO, if you know of anyone who would be interested in spending the next 4 months here in Puebla teaching, let me know. We need someone to take some high school classes. I'm looking forward to helping find teachers for next year also. I know God is already preparing the person who is going to take my place and I'm very excited for that person!
One other new thing having to do with school is that I've been asked to give special lessons to the ESL students while their classmates are having Spanish class. The students will begin Spanish this week and I and another teacher are going to have English class for the students whose 2nd or 3rd language is English. I think it will be a great experience for me!
Well, I'll end this week by telling you a little of what I've been learning from God's Word. I've been reading in a few different places at different times of the day. In Jeremiah I have been seeing God's great gift of love and mercy. He is such a wonderful God. He literally begged His people to turn back to Him and turn away from idols. He reminded them of all the things He had promised to them and still they wouldn't listen. Today the chapters I read were about God and Jeremiah telling the people how idols cannot compare with God. God is the only one that deserves our worship and He alone deserves to be revered by the nations. I was reminded that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!! How wonderful it is to know Him and to proclaim that before the day of judgment. Take the challenge with me of sharing Christ with others this week so that the, too, can know and believe while here on this earth that Jesus Christ IS LORD and there is NO OTHER!
All for His glory,
