Wildwood Summer Project 2011
I must admit it I love being here.
But I am the foreigner here.
I've been spoiled. Being in such a haven as Gallaudet University, where everyone signs, where all deaf people are entitled to have equal access at cafeteria, at post office, and at students' account office. Especially in classroom with teachers.
I feel like I was yanked out, I mean, really yanked out of my haven.
I live in a house with 50 other people, and all of them hearing.
All the commotion here and I hardly know what's going on.
I know I'm being a little depressing but that is how I feel.
But I must admit I really have learned a lot since I got here 2 1/2 weeks ago.
I learned that people are more willing to talk about God and all the spiritual things than people in general believe.
I'm reading this book, "God Space" by Doug Pollock. Doug explained in the first chapter that if we are willing to create a God space, where people will feel safe to talk about God and spiritual things. However Doug explained that in order for us to be able to make God space for others, we must make a God space inside ourselves first, meaning we have to be willing to allow God set up opportunities at HIS own time. There then we are able to create a God space for others.
It's just amazing how God is teaching me, so much in such a short time recently.
I'm seeing what else the Lord is going to teach me in the next 7 weeks.
People, I'm in for a ride! (=
God bless!
