I made it!

I live in Arkansas. AND I love living in Arkansas. So far it's been SUCH a peaceful transition. AND Matt and Haley KEEP blessing me with their company and helping hands (and yummy dinners)...

The move went really well! I left KC on Sunday furniture-less due to a mishap with the U-Haul. My biggest crisis with the entire move has been the hidden outlet in my bathroom. I was convinced for 3 days that an outlet didn't even exist. I was appalled! But the Lord provides flawlessly and so I am now sitting quite cozily in my furnished apartment (with adequate outlets) listening to the sweet sound of Mumford and Sons and that motorcyclist neighbor of mine...I'll put pictures up as soon as everything really is looking nice :)


I am really thankful for my parents. Yesterday they drove from KC with a truck full of my furniture. They also drove back to KC last night after unloading it all and making a quick trip to our neighborhood Wal-Mart (of which I think there are 5-6). I live in Wal-Mart country and have already cheated and ventured to Target. I can't help it- their dollar aisle calls my name!

I start teaching my first class in 1 week. I've met a few of the kids already because their parents are teachers. I have a lot to do between now and then, and a lot of training to undertake--but I think I can handle it. :) My principal keeps asking Haley if I'm okay... I guess she's not used to how relaxed I am. I'm just soaking it all in, and thanking Jesus that such a sweet opportunity presented itself to me. I have been humbled by the people I work with. SUCH sweet spirits and SO much love for the Lord.

Pastor Stuart challenged us with Psalm 34 for this school year. He's such a great man of God! I'm quite thrilled to have such great leadership here.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Psalm 34:4-7
