Even if they do not know it here in Tahoe He is the King of this city and the Lord of this nation. I was listening to God of this city tonight and broke down. These people here is Tahoe need Him so much. Greater thing are truly happening here and yet to come. He has the power to turn these peoples hearts to Him. It amazes me how someone can look around at this beauty and not know there is a God who hand crafted it all.
On June 12 and 13 we went to Yosemite National Park. That just put me in awe of God's creation again. He is truly so wonderful. My mind can't be wrapped around how creative He was in His design of everything. I have truly learned how small I am in comparison to everything else. It's not about me at all. It's all about God.
This week Big A club started and its been difficult but rewarding all at the same time. It has had its challenges and struggles and trials but my God has pulled me through and constantly reminded me why I am here and that is for these children and their parents and the people of Tahoe City. I have some children who have STOLE my heart here one of them is name Seth. I told myself that I wouldn't fall in love with this little 4 year old angel because Megan from TN that came here last year loves him and he is hers but somehow God led me to Him and I teach His class and I get to wrap my arms around Him each day and tell Him I love Him and Miss Megan does too! Seth has the prettiest blond curls and his eyes and smile get me everytime. One day I was holding him on the playground and this was the conversation:
kacey: "seth i love you"
seth: i love you
kacey: "i wanna take you home..."
seth: " to tn"
and we both smiled big
oh that boy has my heart.
One day in music we were sitting and learning the words and I was sitting Indian Style and he reached over and held my hand for like 5 mins. I love my little lions class. They are all so fun and cute. We told the story of Jonah this week and acted it out 3 times because they loved it so much. We let them get inside a "whale" and did sounds and motions. One thing I have learned here is "What is the wrong way to tell a Bible Story?" "The same way you told it yesterday." So each day we tell the story differently.
God is showing me so muc hthrough my own quiet time of how i need to daily draw close to Him and give Him my fears and worries daily. He is also showing me plans for my future. Next summer I feel that He is calling me to serve internationally. God is also working in Devotion time with the team. We are going through John Maxwell's Learning the 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player. Wow you think you have some of these qualities until you learn what they really look like so God is showing me how to be these thing fully through Him. He is changing me so much I can't even describe it. The qualities we have done so far are Adaptable, Collaborative,Committed, Communicative,Competent, and Dependable. So those are what I have begun working on.
This week has also been difficult because on Wednesday I got a text and email that one of my fellow Light Messengers went to be with the Lord. The New England Travel Team was in a car wreck. Everyone else survived but Palmer. He took his last breath in this world and his first breath in heaven. I know we are all saddened even if we didn't know him that well. One thing I do know is he would want us to keep serving Christ whole-heartedly this summer. So that is what we are doing as Light Messengers and I know his life will leave a legacy.
Continue to pray for his family and that team and all the Light Messengers around the world. Pray for Tahoe, its team, the children, the parents, the people, my team, my supervisor, the staff, and for me to continue growing and trusting God and following His plan not my own.
Thank you for your continuous prayers and support. I love and miss yall.
