It certainly has been a long while since I last posted. What can I say, senior year has proved to be busy! I have a job as a nanny that I have been working for almost two months now. I really love it. I just got placed with a permenant family this week. They have a six-week-old baby girl. Just precious! School is flying by, and for that I am grateful! It's almost time for Thanksgiving, and then before you know it, it'll be Christmas break. How exciting! I cannot express how eager I am to begin student teaching. Each day that I intern I am reminded that this is truly what I have been called to do. I appreciate the opportunity to be placed at a lower income school. I feel that it is God who has called me to teach those who have no hope for the future. Teaching is, and will be, my ministry. The Lord is really teaching me a lot, molding me each day. I can't wait to see what he has in store. Jesse and I are doing incredibly well. Our wedding day is quickly approaching. Only about six and half more months. Living apart from one another continues to be a challenge for our daily lives, but I know that soon enough we will be together each day. Neither one of us know exactly where the future is leading. I'm not really worried about it though, I know that God will soon reveal his plan to us. In the mean time, I will continue to pray that my love for Jesse will overcome distance and any obstacle that comes our ways. *Mary Alys* |
