Hey everybody. For those of you who started school this week, I pray it went well. For those of you who start next week, I'm praying it goes well. I can hardly believe that I left half an hour less than a week ago. It's been a rough week, and I miss home beyond what I can express. But, I am excited about God's purpose for me here. I know He has an amazing plan. I love my professors and my classes in general. I get to start teaching Kindergarten Sunday school on Sunday and working with Cubbies in Awana in a couple of weeks. I've gotten to spend a few afternoons with the Colon twins already, and am excited about the opportunity to be involved in their lives. I'll be picking them up from school four days a week and spending a couple of hours with them, plus they'll be in the Sunday school class I'm teaching at Highland! I've gotten to reunite with my beloved roommate who I missed tremendously over the summer, and I've started getting back into the groove with Campus Crusade. The homework hasn't started pouring in yet, so that's been a relief, and I think I've gotten even some extra rest that I've needed over the past week. For those of you who don't know, I wrecked my car on Saturday, less than 24 hours after my parents had left me in Waco (sorry, Mom and Dad). Though I'm waiting for the official word from the insurance, the body shop guy has told me that from his observation, the car is totaled. The accident was my fault; there was a red light, and I didn't see it. Praise God for His protection. For those of you wondering--no, I wasn't talking on the phone; no, I wasn't listening to loud music; no, I wasn't trying to find something in the car.... I was watching the road. The road is four lanes and only has one light past the intersection, besides a vertical light that is hardly visible as there is a building in front of it. I almost wish that I had been distracted, because I just sound like an idiot. Though the light was hard to see, I should have seen it. But, praise the Lord for grace, protection, and insurance. It wasn't the way I hoped or planned to begin the school year, but He is faithful, no matter how greatly I fail. Thank you for all of you that have checked up on me and shown so much love and grace to me. You all are blessings. Thank you for your prayers. Please let me know how I can pray for you and better support you. I love you all!
"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as a little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." ~Matthew 18:4
