Five plus years have passed.. how crazy to think that! I always say I want to write more, but at the end of the day I always end up falling asleep literally as soon as my head hits the pillow. Three kids and LIFE will do that to you... seriously! I have moved across the country, lost the other parental half of two my children, and life has been turned upside down more ways than I could count! BUT! I still have my faith. My God has kept me all of these years, through the countless wrong choices, U-turns, digging myself into things I had no business being in..... BUT GOD! In any case, I continue to praise Him. I continue to know that He is with me, He will provide for me, and He will correct me if/when I am wrong. The kids are now 12, 9 and 4... This upcoming year will bring a teenager, a ten year old, and a five year old. I still can't even believe it. I am going to try to write every night - but just give the highlights of the week here. I will be finishing school soon (Lord willing) and then begin my career. I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have since decided I don't want to grow up! :-) Haha. No, I will be a teacher. I want to be able to teach and be fluent in Spanish as well as American Sign Language (ASL). Being able to communicate across cultural/language barriers is an amazing feeling, and I love to learn. LOVE. If I could be a permanent student I would do it, definitely. I work in the Head Start program currently, and even though I am only in the kitchen as the cook, I see God bringing me into contact with people that I know are a blessing, and can help me break into the school district here when I am looking for work. I have experienced great highs, and great lows, and through it all, I have learned to be content in Him. The writer Paul describes that type of contentment in Philippians 4... specifically in verses 11-13... until tomorrow.... <3
