note

A note on that last post: In a conversation with a friend, we realized that it turns out that struggle I referred to springs from a huge LIE that we both (all) believe too often. That is, "God doesn't bless me. God doesn't want to give me good things." The blessing or good thing we perceive him to be witholding depends, of course, on each person. It's the same thing as in the old Garden of Eden story: "Don't trust him, he's holding out on you!"

Hi Emily,
My name is Annie and I found your blog awhile ago searching on google for blogs. I'm coming to Formando Vidas to volunteer starting on Feb. 4th! I taught ESL here in the States at a Charter school for a few years after college, and just finished my DTS in Costa Rica. I loved it and am really looking forward to coming to Colombia. Anything I should really know before I come?

Hi Annie! So great to hear you're coming to join us. I'll get to meet you before I head to the States for a month and then to do my DTS in Chile. I can't think of anything you really need to know... if you have any specific questions, let me know.
