| HELLO!
Yes, it's me again. A new, older, more sophisticated me, but still me. I thank everyone for your continued prayers and comments. I have missed my xanga family, but I know you all are still here for me. So where do I begin....
Round 2 of teaching 1st grade. Same school, different classroom, different group of co-workers, but still just as fun. I don't think I will ever be finished learning when it comes to my job. Everyday I am given new tasks to complete and I find my self saying...."when was this in my job description". I love my job, and I am learning that I love a challenge. I just ask for your prayers for my students. They are a special bunch and I know the Lord is gonna use me to lead them to amazing things in their lives. Purpose...he places certain people in your life in order to complete a greater work. Pray for the greater work!
The Lord is still amazing, never changes. I on the other hand, my life just keeps changing. I am at a lost for words when it comes to where I am in Christ. Even as I type these words on this page I shrug my shoulders and shake my head and say...only you know Lord. I just pray that is enough. He has really shaken things up and placed me in a vulnerable place. He is challenging me and I in turn challenge Him which causes Him to challenge me even further. He is winning the challenge...as if you didn't already know. Only through these challenges I can become stronger, and though the challenges hurt and I often feel all alone, and even though people try to jump in the ring and offer support, they can not fight this battle. I gotta go it on my own. I know....u dont get it...its ok...just pray!
Life is great though...Chillin in a tropical storm right about now, but safe. Plannin to have a bbque for Labor Day. Good times. Anyway...stay up people.
Love and His grace!

| I know it has been a long time, but my computer is messed up and so I really don't have access. This is gonna be short and sweet. So here it goes...
I'm good, ready for spring break (apr.9) and excited that the school year is quickly coming to a close. I had a blast last weekend with my girls and am looking forward to another fun filled weekend with the girls again. Ha.... South Beach can really get u in trouble if you're not careful.
Anyway, that is that....will post more soon. Later!
God is in control!

| Ok Ok Ok...I knew that wouldn't work.
Where do I begin? How bout work. Man, It is so hard to believe I am over halfway through my first year of teaching. I sit back and think about my first year of college and how fast those four years went and it gets me real excited cause in no time I will have four years experience in teaching. Time flies...things change, people change, situations change, and life just happens. I dont know guys. I have had a lot on my mind lately. Not sure how to express it though. It's kinda like random thoughts rolling around like marbles in my head. I guess it all boils down to the fact that no one knows what each day hold except the Man above. In life I have taken so much for granted and I am starting to understand the sayin..."if it had not been for the Lord on my side, where would I be."
(See what I mean...random thoughts...anyway...)
So I think I found a church. It is called Victory Christian Center and I have been goin off and on for about 2 months now. I really like the size, the people are great, worship is a lot like center of restoration/beyond,,,haha....and everytime I go I leave with something amazing to take into the next week. Tomorrow they start a series for newcommers called the foundation series. It lays down the belifs and stuff of the church. Kinda like a new members class. Still prayin about it and stuff...Praise God for answered prayers!
Family is doing well. My dad celebrates his 50th birthday March 4th and my mom celebrates her 48th on the 6th. My sisters and I have planned this huge 50th birthday bash for my daddy that weekend. Over 300 people invited. It is in Cincinnati and so many people want to be there. Very exciting stuff, but very hard to plan an event like this. Its cool though. Anyway, consider this an invite...haha...
Hmmm...that is all I wish to discuss with my xanga crew for now. I was completly serious when I said God is still in control and I am still learning to trust him. I am growing everyday...it's wierd...but I know it's a part of life. Without growth, you're dead...and I am very much alive and loving life. So here is to growth...and all that is in store for this very lost, very confused child of the King...his beautiful princess!

I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
