| "And then I met Jesus and he wrecked my life. The more I read the gospel, the more it messed me up, turning everything I believed in, valued, and hoped for upside-down."-Shane Claiborne I just started this book, and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. But, so far I have really enjoyed it. This quote got to me. I read these words and thought, yeah that's how it should be. Jesus should completely transform our lives. Being a Christian is not about how we fit Jesus into our lives; it's about how the way we live fits in to our relationship with Jesus. I hate that when I'm running out of time it is often my quiet time that I sacrifice first. It shouldn't be that way. Believe me there are enough worthless things in my life that I can and should sacrifice. There are a lot of things these days that stir something in me, but I just can't figure out how to express all the thoughts that are swirling around in my head. In other news, I am enjoying spending Thanksgiving with my sisters. It's been a while since we have all been home at the same time. I really love my family and I am so thankful for them! | | |

Soooooo....BIG NEWS!!!!!
I have a job for next year! I will be teaching 2nd grade at Christian Fellowship. I cannot even tell you how nice it feels to have that decision made. So it looks like those of you in Columbia are stuck with me for a little while longer.  | | |
| Today marks the official one year mark since my surgery. I have to say that it is still a little surreal that I actually went through the whole ordeal. But God used it to show me just how faithful He is to be with me every step of the way. I am so grateful for the amazing friends and family God has given me. I could not have made it through my 8 weeks of recovery last summer without having friends sit with me when all I could do was lay around, and pick me up to get me out of the house when I still couldn't drive. God has richly blessed me, and I am so thankful for that. | | |
| So, tomorrow I have my first job interview of the summer! It is with Christian Fellowship School, and it's for a 2nd grade position. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it. I never thought I would want to teach any higher than 1st, but when I heard about the opening it kind of excited me.
The major problem is I still don't know where God wants me next year. So I'm praying about it and applying all over the place. I have to decide if I'm renewing my lease by July 14th so hopefully I know something by then. Fortunately, God has led me to this point and I know He will lead me the rest of the way! | | |
| The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
Psalm 138:8
When all the plans I make fall apart, I will trust in God. I will trust that He knows how it will all work out. He knows what He has in store for me. And anything He plans is infinitely more wonderful and glorious than I could ever imagine! O Lord give me the patience to listen for Your voice as you lead me. | | |
