Wow! I obviously forget about this quite often. I never seem to update. Since my last update I have endured also a whole year as a full time 5th grade teacher. I went to Haiti for Christmas, returning 8 days before the earthquake. Wow! How God did a lot of work on my heart during that time and after returning when many of my friends were devastated by a national disaster.
In late February, my Mom and I flew to Charleston, South Carolina for my old roommates wedding. It was a fantastic weekend and so great to see all of my friends from there. I truly miss the wonderful people I met there.
Then in early March I went to Washington D.C. with 100 of our 5th grade students. We had a fantastic trip and all of our 5th graders learned a lot. Returning completely exhausted early Thursday morning, I then hosted a Civil War Living History Day for our 5th grade student's at ACE. Why not add a little more to the week, right? The student's really enjoyed the day and I truly appreciated all of the re-enactors that came to support our day. God was so faithful that day, as it was overcast all day but not a drop hit the ground until the last truck was pulling off the field that day.
Now, I'm sitting in Denver Colorado for Spring Break, visiting yet another old roommate. A roommate who is now married with a cute little 5 month old. It has been a great week and after them having 18 inces of snow last week the weather has been incredible! So thankful for no more snow.
Ohh and I am leaving again in 2 weeks to go back to South Carolina for another friend's wedding.
I have been in fervent prayer, as to what God wants me to pursue this summer. After an absolutely exhilerating summer in 2009, it is hard to think of just sitting and not traveling this summer. However, there are no plans, other than a quick trip back to Haiti on late July. So, I am praying for God's guidance on accepting some responsibilities at an Appalachian Ministry organization, we'll see where He leads.
Blessings!
