The New Job

I love my new job. I love working with internationals and university students who have a passion for ESL. There is nothing like being surrounded by people who share the same passion as you do.. English as a Second Language and Linguistics.

I've met my three interns. They are awesome. I am going to be their guide (kinda scary) in ESL. I'm hoping to give them a practical approach of ESL and how to become a good teacher and administrator.

There are many parts to my job. One part is that I am in the intern coordinator, a second is that I'm the Study Abroad Coordinator for LU. A third is that I am the Community Projects coordinator for our outreach English Adult Program and a fourth.. I find host families for our students.. then to top it all off... I teach two language labs and one vocabulary class. Whew! ;)

We have met our students and I LOVE being in front of the classroom again. Currently we are just doing orientation and assessments but these students are fresh, new and unsure of what to expect. We are trying to motivate them to learn English and take the time to do it!

Yesterday, I was able to get to know some of the students then pray over them. I prayed over two Chinese students and one Japanese students. I prayed for them by name and asked for specific things to pray about. They told me and I prayed. One of the girls started to cry after I was finished praying .. I asked if she was okay and she said that she was.. just that she was in shock over how kind, nice and loving everyone at Liberty was. ;)

I know my ministry.. I know my job.. I just need to practice the presence of God.
