Lately, God has been putting on my heart those children who are less fortunate in this world. Though I have thought about doing mission work before, I had never really considered that it would be possible for an elementary education major to teach in a foreign country like that. I really want to show the love of God to those children in the world who have never known about Him, and I want to help little minds grow in a healthy way.  In chapel yesterday, they gave out this award called the Mary Morris Service Award, and it was given to this remarkable lady who had gone to Lipscomb and then after her first semester of teaching in Nashville, she decided to go to Honduras and teach there. She learned the language, established a school there, and is able to teach the Bible and about Jesus and how He died for us. It's amazing! It just really inspired me, and God put it on my heart that maybe that is something I should think about doing in the future. It's just something I've been thinking about lately.... and, though I know there are plenty of opportunities here in the USA to serve the less fortunate and to be able to teach our children here, I really feel that I need to get out there in the world where there is even less knowledge about the love of Christ.

Well, hope you all are having a wonderful week! I know I have... we didn't have chapel today, which is nice. And it's such a pretty day! I think I'm going to go sit on a swing outside for a litte bit before class.
