As I am busy, busy, busy here at the end of the school year I would covet your prayers. I am balancing a lot. I am planning a trip home this summer for two purposes: 1) Support raising. I am quite low on finances (and the dollar sinking further each day doesn't help.) 2) Educational. The last two weeks of July I am taking a Level III course through the National Institute for Learning Development in Norfolk, VA. While I am preparing to take this class, which has several components that are all very time consuming, I am also trying to coordinate plans for getting back to the States and trying to make contact with current supporters and prospective supporters as well.
All the while I am still doing prep work, teaching, writing Annual Reports and planning on meeting with parents when they come to pick up their kids, as well as other aspects of life and ministry here at Black Forest Academy. My cup overflows. (I think that's the shortest sentence so far! :D ) Since I have a lot that I am constantly thinking about that spills over into my "resting" hours (aka sleep) and have not been sleeping well the last several nights.
So in short:
Please pray for me...
...that I can finish writing the reports soon! (I have 3 1/2 reports almost done out of seven)
...that I can finish the requirements for my class in a timely manner. I'm a slow reader and there is a projected 30 hours of reading/prep work that need to be done.
...In preparation for my class this summer I will be observed this Friday! Pray for calm nerves :D
...that I can make all the arrangements necessary soon for my return to the States.
...that I can sleep.
and last but not least
...that I can continue to be refreshed by the Lord during this stressful time and that I can be an encouragement to others.

Bethany,
Thanks so much for the postcard you sent my way. It was very thoughtful and very charming. :) I'm chaperoning a three week trip to Cadiz, Spain, June 14-July 5. I'm very excited! Then I'll be in Columbus Ohio for a month to finish up my graduate program. I'd love to see you sometime, but not sure how. It doens't look like I'll be in MN this summer, though I'd like to see and visit so many people.
Also, I found a full-time teaching position for next year at a high school near the Cleveland area.
Could you give me a phone number I can reach you at in the states? There's a small possibility I could visit you in Virginia.
I'll keep you in my prayers!
Rebecca
