Middle Point of the Journey

Hello Dear Friends and Supporters

First of all I want to apologize for not updating my blog in a while. Now that time allows it I want to share with you several stuff that are happening in my life.

Teaching a Whole New Perspective

 As you know I am not a teacher with a degree, but I have several years of experience working in education as a para-educator in the public schools of Lancaster. Here in Bogota, El Camino Academy has giving me the opportunity to teach. This has been one of the most amazing experiences I ever had in education. I have had the change to learn how to create lesson plans, quizzes, test, and midterms. Teaching is definitely a hard job but the end result of seeing the students succeed doesn't compare with the times that as a teacher I feel tired ,overwhelmed, or frustrated with different details of education. I am glad to say that as a teacher God has giving an incredible chance to learn new things about life, about education, but most important about myself in my walk with Him. God it is definitely the key to everything we do in our lives.

Having the opportunity to work in a Christian School is so different from a regular school. The atmosphere feels different because we can encourage our students in so many ways through God. He is basically the main reason for all we do as students, and teachers at El Camino. I am glad to be here serving God in a way I can be helpful. I am happy to say that I love what I do at El Camino, and I love all my dear students. This opportunity is changing me as person, and as a professional an I am thankful for this every day.

Family and Friends

During the last five months I had have the opportunity to spend time with my family. I left Colombia when I was 14 years old, and from that time I wasn't able to spend Christmas with my family. I am happy to tell you that after 10 years, I had a great Christmas with my family and friends. It was great to have the opportunity to share the Christmas traditions of my family with some of my good friends and co-workers. The Lord has been great to me and I can not complain about anything.
The Lord has help me to build a better relationship with my mother, and hopefully she is learning to get to know me better as an individual. I am really happy to have the chance to be close to my family and enjoy special moments with them.

Praying to Expand this Opportunity

I want to share with you that I am going to start praying for the possibility to keep serving one more year here at El Camino. Please help me pray for this option and share with me what the Lord is sharing with you.

Thank you for all your prayers, support, and love

God Bless You All,

Olga .
