Thank you thank you thank you to those this week who have prayed with us or shared that you are praying for us. We have been encouraged this week by sweet times of prayer with Keane’s family and with our Bible study. We will be carrying these memories with us to Germany, for sure.
My anticipation and excitement to work with students at BFA was magnified today. I was able to Skype with the current female counselor whose position I will inherit next year. (Side note: Technology is awesome.) It was just SO GOOD to be able to hear more details about the functions of the counseling department and my future role as the female counselor, specifically. The position entails much more than individual counseling. I will also work with the male counselor to provide professional development trainings to the school and dorm staff in mental health issues, will assist in teaching the mental health units of the high school health classes, and will lead transition seminars for the graduation seniors, amongst other things. These are things that are so near and dear to my heart, and I feel a renewed sense of awe that God has called me and Keane to work with these students next year.
