My Life in Cebu....: My Life in Cebu....Coming to an End....

Well...My year here at Children's Shelter of Cebu has come to an end. My time here has been more of an adventure than I ever could have imagined! I have been blessed abundantly by working with these kids and with this ministry. This is a remarkably special place, as anyone who spends one day here realizes. To think that I got to spend almost 11 months here is unbelievable, especially when it was a dream that began in my heart 12 years ago on a short-term missions trip when I was a high-schooler. My dream has been fulfilled, and I will always remember this year as a very significant year in my life. I have learned and grown in so many ways.

God has his hand on this place in a very special way, and that is evident each and every day. Each of these kids are so very special to me and I will miss them terribly. I will also miss the staff, as they have become like family to me. I'll miss the teachers and the other workers - we are blessed with so many wonderful ones here at CSC!

I am going to make this my last blog from Cebu, but I plan to write a few more when I get home - I still have a few stories and pictures to share!! I'm realizing how short my last 3 1/2 days here will be, so I'm going to sign off on blog writing for a few days and spend time packing and hanging out with awesome kids. :)

Thanks to everyone who has faithfully read my blog this year! I have no idea who all that entails, but it's been an honor and a blessing to share about this amazing ministry with you! I hope that someday each and every one of you can visit CSC, if you haven't already. And if you're ever looking for a place to support financially, then WOW, I found you a great place!!!!!! :D Keep checking in on CSC's website to hear more about what's going on! http://www.cscshelter.org/

I'll write more in a few days! :)
