Greetings from Southern California! Thank you guys so much for your prayers for safety in the Bay; I'm alive and well, and my ears are fine. I'm now in SoCal for a few days for summer project training. Yesterday and today is for the staff teams to get to know each other and plan for the project, and tomorrow the students from 4 different projects will arrive for more training/briefing/getting to know you before we leave for our various locations: San Francisco, Hawaii, Japan, and East Asia.
It's a little surreal to think that the months of anticipation, the uncertainty whether I'd be allowed to remain on this team, the packing and shuffling from city to city (this is my 4th in 2 weeks)...is all unfolding right here, right now. The names on the summer project staff emails are now faces with stories, and the students that I've been coaching over the phone will soon be here too. It's both exciting and nervewracking all at once -- exciting because I know it's going to be an incredible summer as God grows us all, but also nervewracking because I'm not really sure what to expect this time as a staff member. A lot of things are still up in the air, but even what we do plan is bound to change and flex throughout the summer, so I think it's another lesson in learning to let go and stop being such a control freak :)
More later,
Jess
