The time has come

Well I am sorry to say that I will be returning to the states and not coming back to Peru. There were situations out of my hands that led me to believe this was the best decision. I thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and financial support. If you have been financial supporting me you may let the Network of International Christian Schools (NICS) that you will no longer be supporting me. I am saddened by this decision but I know that God has greater plans for me. Please pray for peace in my heart, no bitterness, and compassion to surround me. I also ask for prayer that I will find a job and apartment in Colorado Springs which is ultimately where I plan to end up. I am just looking for a regular job not necessarily in teaching so if you hear of anything or have connections let me know.

God bless you all,
Courtney

P.S. I plan for my blog to continue so keep checking!!

When life gets tough

Hello friends,

I need prayer. Serious prayer. I have so much coming at me and I'm overwhelmed. I feel pretty low right now when I should be excited about visiting home. I hurt and the pain is so incredibly deep. I really can't explain it. I just need a lot of prayer that God would lead me and that I would depend on him. I need his love and guidance at this time. I need love from friends and family so that is why I'm sending this blog. Please pray for me,

Court

Almost Home

Please pray for me. I basically have one more week before I go to the U.S. and I can't hardly stand it. I have two distinct feelings though. I have a sadness for leaving because I love the people here. I love the culture. I mean I've definitely had my struggles but I truly love Peru. Then I have excitement about going home and seeing my family. I'm excited to see my mom and dad, and grandparents and possibily aunts and uncles and cousins. Pray because I'm sad I won't see much brother this Christmas but may this summer. Anyways, keep me in your prayers these next couple of weeks as it will be crazy and I can only think of home and how much I'll miss Peru for two months. Wow I never thought I would feel this way. and yet here I am.

God bless you all,
Court
