Roses are red...

Beautiful. I love flowers. Especially when they are specially delivered.

Letting Me in on Secrets...

God always surprises me with the big things he has in store.
Here are just a few that he has let me in on...

-Haiti. I will be there in 2 weeks. Seriously.
-Serve the City.  I absolutely love my street and my people.
-Friends. Lots of fun and exciting things are going on in many of my friends' lives.
-School. I am ALMOST finished with grad school.

I think the list could continue...but the cool thing about God is He seems to let you in on those secrets as the time is right.  I am excited for what God has next... :)

Smile Worthy...

I have had one of those weekends. Very smile worthy.
Lots of good things have happened this weekend, and I am thankful.

Les Miserables..The Cheesecake Factory...fun with a certain exciting boy...
A sweet baby being born in Thailand...emails with wonderful friends...talking about the Haiti trip...
Meeting new people...

Very smile worthy.
A great weekend.

Missing...

It's Mardi Gras break in Haiti, and all of my friends there have been having a great couple of days.  I have been keeping up with emails, reading blog posts, and looking at pictures of their week.
I have also been starting to think more about my trip, and what exactly God has in store for us that week.  I am excited. I am ready.
I wake up some mornings and just miss it. I miss the smells. I miss walking out of my door and being greeted by a rush of heat. I miss hearing my name as I walk down the street and having little hands touch my arms, legs, and hands.  I miss the cheek kisses from some of my very favorite kids.  I miss it.

Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.  Jeremiah 29:13

So thankful for those verses that pop out and grab you...Thank you God!

A Sue-prize for Mme Islande!

When I went to visit in October...Cady kept my coming a secret from my former students, and my assistants! Here is my sue-prize (this is what one of my kids called it) visit to Mme Islande!

I have become addicted...

I have become addicted to reading a few blogs, and then I remembered, that I too, once had a blog! So, let's see what this is like all over again!
Just an update...I am still teaching, still enjoying the time I work with my students, and my amazing coworkers.  I am very blessed in my job!  I started working with a few ministries from my church...one where we go downtown and work with families that are in a poorer area of town, and the other is being a high school life group leader.  I have always liked high school students...and I am LOVING my group of girls!  More than our relationships with each other, they truly remind me and teach me more about God.  I am blessed by those girls!

And...I am helping to lead a trip to Haiti in 1 month!  We leave on April 1st, and I am so excited!  I went on my Fall Break in October for a few days, and it was absolutely fabulous.  Seeing my old students, staying with Cady...it was a great time! :)  

So...I am going to try to keep this up...whether its with randomness, what God is teaching me, or even exciting updates in my life!  Crossing my fingers that this will work! :)
