| Well, I have moved again. We are now in North Richland Hills, we being Becky and me. I am headed to Kenya this summer for a 6 week internship. I am very excited about it. :o) And now that I am a few lines into this, I have lost heart. Maybe I will finish it later. Or not. I would bet on the not. Later.... Ok fine I guess I will finish the update. Hmm let's see... oh yes, here we go. I am no longer a nanny. God gave me a way to escape that so I did. I have been out of work since October but He has been so faithful in His provision and love for me. I have formed deep and lasting friendships with so many wonderful people. God has become more real to me than ever. He is leading me down a path that is exciting and yet unknown. And I am finally ok with that. I remember many discussions with my friend Cary (probably the only one who still reads these) that found me so confused and not sure of which way to go. He always told me to just start moving and God would direct me. I have found that to be very true indeed. Another recent development in my life is Brad. God put us together at just the right time and I am learning so much from him. We have been dating for a couple of weeks now, but have been friends for awhile. He is missions hearted, loves God and people of all ages, but especially children. I am learning alot about myself, and how relationships really look. He has some pictures of us so I will get them when I can and post a couple on here and on facebook. Pray that God continues to be the center of our relationship and that we will seek Him together. Kenya is going to be awesome. God has planned this mission trip and continues to guide me towards it. I still have not fully grasped that I am going but around May I am sure it will hit me. Pray for the people there that I will come in contact with that they will have open hearts and eyes. Pray that the Holy Spirit will go before us to prepare the way. Ok, that is it for now. :o) | | |
| So it has been so long since I have used this thing that I forgot my password. But I figured it out and here I am. Here is the update:
I am a nanny. Yes, I am helping rich people raise their children. The kids are sweet and I get most weekends off so its not too bad I guess.
I live in Euless, TX, part of the metroplex for those who aren't familiar. I am rooming with Becky which is a sweet deal bc we get along perfectly.
I am searching. For lots of things, actually. I am eager to dig up all of life's surprises.
I am liking being an adult a little more these days. For awhile there I wanted to be 10 years old again with summers off and with no clue of what lay ahead.
I am addicted to Smarties. You know, the candy. I keep a bag in my car in easy reach at all times.
I guess that's about it for now. I am tired and I have to be at work at 8 am instead of the usual 9am. So goodnight dear blog. You have seen my many moods and seen how I have changed. Here is to another good year.

| Its that time again. Christmas songs already are stuck in my head and its not even cold out yet. However, there is much for which to be thankful this year. I am employed. I have a great apartment, a great roommate, a great church family, and above all, a great God. I love you all. Merry Thanksgiving and Happy Christmas.

| So much has changed this last month. Becky now has a job, and I have an interview on Wednesday that seems really great. Things are going well all around. Funny, it seems like I should have so much to say, but it is hard to put it into words.
I was expecting to be a whole new person here, but it has ended up that I am still the same me. This isn't a bad thing. I just still deal with the same struggles I always have, plus some new ones that are quite annoying. God is also making some beautiful changes that are giving me peace. I guess what I am trying to say is that I am addicted to instant. I am impatient with myself when things do not go as quickly as I want them to. I want to be different right now! I want to go from lazy to completed motivated in a finger snap. I want to be good at this and that right away. I am praying for patience because it is the only thing that can help my attitude at this point.
Will I ever get this right?

| For the past few weeks I have moved, shoved, stacked, dropped, and discarded so much of my stuff. I have moved from a big house to a small room in my parents house that I am sharing with the wonderful Becky. I have spent countless hours job searching without success as of yet. But none of this is what is really on my heart.
God is so accommodating. I left so many good friends behind but he has led me to a place full of His beloved. I have already had so many opportunities to spend time in the presence of those who love foreign missions and I am currently attending meetings for that purpose. I asked for a spark and He gave me a fire. I am truly blessed.
I have met so many amazing people. I have also discovered that people are the same all over. There is the guy who loves to blow things up, build things, and play with fire. There is the girl who cooks for everyone, loves with everything she has, and is very passionate about life. There is the guy who unites them all, donates his house for all occasions, and is very handy. Being with them makes me miss you all. But life rolls on like it always has in its beautiful and painful fashion.
The heartbeat of God resounds in the every corner of this small world of which I am a part. It serves as a steady rhythm by which I live, and move, and exist. (Acts 17:28) I do not know what my future will contain but I know that it is going to be fulfilled within the will of God.
"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." Psalm 20:7
