I wish I had more to blog about but my life has become very routine in that I go to school and work and by the time I get home there's not a whole lot to do except go to bed. Thrilling, I know.
Okay, I know there's a lot more people that read this blog than just the people that comment. I don't know who all does but maybe there's someone reading this who is struggling with the idea of maybe moving to Athens? Maybe not. But if you are, and if you know God is leading you there, to at least look into it, would you please obey Him? The preschool is nearing the point of desperation in their need for two more teachers to go. I know it's hard to think about leaving family, friends and comfort zones. Boy do I know. If any of you know my story of how I ended up down south, you know it was a huge struggle and that even while I was driving there with my car loaded up with all my stuff, I was praying that maybe God could change His mind and send me right back to central Illinois. But also if you know my story, you might know that Alabama became home to me. It has become just as much a part of me as central Illinois has. You might also know that when I started feeling let to move back to Roanoke, it was just as much of a struggle as it was to move down there in the first place. I know it's different. I know it might be scary. I know it's far away. But it's so, so worth it.
With that being said, most of you if not all of you reading this are not the right ones to go. You are not being called from where you are. But would you please offer up a prayer that the ones God wants to go would go. That He would please fill the need at the preschool? Thanks, and have a blessed day.

i will be praying! it was just fantastic seeing you this weekend. maybe next time we'll have more of a chance to chat.... :)
Great post!! God doesn't always promise to keep us in our "comfort zones" but boy, when we trust and obey Him, He can give us new "comfort zones" and we can grow in Him! We wouldn't trade our 2 years in athens for anything! Prayers lifted up....
Hope
