The last weekend with everyone

Preparing for the last week of school is exciting and sad all at the same time. Being in Ghana and the people here have impacted my life and to think that the people who have been my family this past year are now leaving is a joyful sad occasion. I never knew how hard it would be to say goodbye to the people I live with. It is kind of being like in college again. Each day this weekend was a little bit different. On Friday I went with the girls downstairs to La Gallete. It was so good and it was awesome to spend the last Friday night for some of them with them. Then all day on Saturday I helped clean downstairs and picked up some of the things they didn't want for next year. Then tonight we had our last care group where we just worshipped and listen to the people that were leaving talking about what they learned. After hearing all those testimonies and hearing how faithful God is to His promises, you just come away inspired.

This past week I have really noticed how God has been talking to me about not worrying about the things I can't change and the negatives and focus on the positives. This week in Bible we have been talking about Jesus' miracles and how He walked on water and Peter joined Him, and as soon as Peter started focusing on the bad things and the waves and took his focus away from Jesus he sank. This week I have been reminded more than once to focus on God and His faithfulness in every situation. For instance I taught it on Tuesday and on Tuesday it seemed like I was hungry all day so I randomly said "I am hungry" in class and one of my students Winy raised her hand and said "Miss Meitzler you should focus on the positive things and not the negative things just like Peter and Jesus." How precious is that little reminder she gave me. Then also on Tuesday I found out that my friends flight was cancelled and it is two days before mine so I started stressing about that and again I was reminded of turning my focus to the positive things instead of the negative . I am so worried over something that God already has his hand in.

I Peter 5.7

Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you!
