Wow a Whole Month!

It has literally been like a month since I have blogged last...sure doesn't seem that long.

Well, life has been crazy! I got done nannying a few weeks ago because the kids went back to school. Honestly, this job was a totaly gift from God. Every chance I got, I took my kids to get "free ice cream" from the church and it sparked some amazing conversations! They asked questions about God and we got to talk about how important it is to have a relationship with Jesus. We even had a whole day devoted to watching VeggieTales which my kids asked to do. I loved it! I hope that all of our conversation sparks some interest in them to search deeper for God. We will see!

I have spent the last few weeks working like crazy! The cafe has seen my pretty face almost everyday. But, it has given me a lot of time to read. Right now I am reading "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis. Amazing! thats all I have to say. It is so eye opening to the evil side of the good vs. evil battle.

I had a "going away" party last Saturday at my house and it was a lot of fun. We ate some good food, played guitar hero, swam and watched a UFC fight on HBO. Yep I like cage fighting. I realized how much I love my friends and how much I am going to miss them.

This Sunday is my last Sunday teaching my precious 4 year olds. I don't think that words could ever describe how much I love those kids. They are my life. It has been such a journey seeing all of them grow a little bit and see them start to understand how much God loves them. I am blessed and feel so honored to be apart of that. I am definitely going to get involved with children's ministry in Tucson .

It is officially 7 days til I move to Tucson. Part of me is so ready; the emotional and spiritual side. As far as all of my stuff, it is definitely NOT ready. I still have packing to do and general straightening up of my room. I know that it will get done though so I am not stressing about it. I am going to miss everyone so much but I have to keep reminding myself that this life isn't about me. It's about spreading the gospel and being lights for this world. God never asked me to be comfortable where I am at. He wants me to be uncomfortable so that I truly rely on Him. I am looking forward to that journey. Thank you to everyone who has been such an encouragement to me and to everyone who has been praying for me.

I will be better about updating this blog when I get down to Tucson and start school so don't any of you worry!
