There is much to be done in these next four months before student teaching begins. During this semester, I am taking my final five classes as well as observing 100 hours at the local schools. I am currently working out details with Grace International's recruiter on dates, housing, etc. I also just heard from my cooperating teacher, who indicated that I will be working with the ninth grade in the spring. This is extremely exciting news!
Also in terms of preparation, I will be heading to Indiana at the end of this month to complete required overseas student teacher training with CCTECC, the department of Interaction International that coordinates student teachers. I am flying to Indiana with two friends, Michelle and Priscilla, who are also student teaching in Asia. Please keep the three of us in your prayers for safety and peace regarding travel.
Speaking of prayer, a number of people have already contacted me about supporting me through prayer, and you can join the prayer support team, too. I have been really blessed just knowing that people are engaged in prayer not only for me, but also for the people I will meet and the country in which I will live. Current prayer needs include finances for my airplane ticket to Thailand, safety during traveling, strength and endurance to complete the schoolwork required this semester, and peace for my family.
In addition, Grace International, the school where I will be student teaching, is experiencing legal difficulties regarding their buildings. The school's Facebook page details days of prayer and court decisions regarding the case (and it also features cute pictures of students).
With this great need for prayer, I would like to extend an invitation for you to join me in remembering these prayer needs on a consistent basis. I'm informally calling it "Tuesdays for Thailand," which just means that Tuesday is a reminder to lift up GIS, my student teaching, and the country and people of Thailand. I feel that God has laid on my heart the importance of setting aside specific times and setting up certain reminders to bring things before Him; otherwise, I often forget to give Him my worries.
Would you join me in remembering Thailand on Tuesdays? In addition, there are more details about prayer and financial support on my support page.
Thank you!
