Hello to all! I decided to create a blog here to keep up with my friends from JC. I have a xanga site; however, my students comment on it constantly...so I decided to create a new one where I can keep up with my sisters.

For those who don't know...I am living in Louisiana.....northeast Louisiana so no Hurricane Katrina did not "hit" where I live the only thing that did hit where lots of people. Hurricane Rita however, did dump lots and lots of wind and rain on us...but we survived.

I am teaching at Union Christian Academy in a little town called Farmerville, which is about the size of Marion....maybe a little larger...maybe. I am currently teaching 7th-9th grade science, vocal ensemble, Bible, and teaching piano privately to junior high studetns. Our school is fairly new we are 5 years old....we range from Pre-K 3 to 9th grade and are adding a grade each year....our first graduating class will be in 2009! WOW! Things there are wonderful!! I love teaching and I love my students! That part of my life is wonderful.

Everything else...well...lets just say I'm clinging to James 1:2-3 "Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." and

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace."
~Acts 20:24 and

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in wekness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
~2 Corinthians 12:9

I know that God is in control....I just don't understand...but yet I'm not supposed to...all I'm supposed to do is trust in God with all of my heart and lean on his understanding and not my own....sometimes that is easier said than done.....
