Hello Again!

So, it's been a year since my last post. I feel like I am in a Catholic confessional! Haha...I had a great year last year working at the junior high (which I never thought I would like)! My summer was nice and relaxing. Heather and I started running together and we're running a 5K this weekend. I'm very excited! This year, I am teaching 6th grade math, aiding other teachers, and I am in charge of the yearbook this year. I hope all of you are doing well!! :o)

    Thank you so much, Lil Bit! Those words mean so much to me :) I am getting more excited everyday!
    Glad to hear you're doing well and enjoying your job. Yearbook sounds like a fun project to take on!!
    You always were a good little runner- I'm sure that 5k will be a breeze for you!

    I absolve you of your non-posting. But I don't post here either, so that's probably not worth much. Doing great here in NC. Hope you and Joe are happy and healthy!

So excited because...

I got a JOB!!! It's an Instructional Aide position at the Jr. High. I haven't been with this age group very much in a classroom setting, but I am certified to teach them. It's a job, though, and I'm lucky to have any job right now. It's so nice to be able to teach in my hometown and know most of the people I work with who taught me!. I am SOOO excited and SO blessed. :o)

    Thanks, lil bit! :) I miss you, too. Now that my parents moved, I'm not sure how often we'll be down that way but I would love to see you and visit the San Marcos church again!

Please remember my aunt and cousins in your prayers. My uncle has passed away. We'll miss him, but he is in a much better place now.
  • swood
    I'm definitely remembering them in my prayers. Also remembering his nieces! Praying for all of you!

    It was a fitting tribute to a good man who was too young to die. We enjoyed being with you and Joe. See you tomorrow (the Lord willing)

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

This is always very encouraging to me. No matter what craziness you are going through, you can always know that God is ultimately in charge and He will take care of you.

Please keep my uncle and his family in your prayers. He is having some heart issues as well as a bad infection and is in the hospital at this time.

    I looked through all our Jamaica pics recently, too! That was such an amazing experience- I'm so glad we got to do that together :) We're doing well- really enjoying our church and friends here, but missing lots of other friends, too! We've been down to see mom and dad some, but it always seems to be a short visit and packed with family stuff, especially now that my sister and sister-in-law each have a baby. I would love to see you and catch up if we get to stay a little longer. And if you ever come up here, we would LOVE to see you two, too :)

    You could come for a Rangers game! Or maybe one of the singings in the area! We have an extra room and bathroom so just let us know, and we'll have a bed ready for you :)
