My ROCK

The Lord is my ROCK - a firm place to cling to when times are uncertain, scary, and when fears abound. I love this name of God right now!

I've now been home for two weeks. In some ways it feels as though I just left Honduras and in other ways it feels as though I've been back in the States for a long time.

Here are a few recent blessings/things I've been up to:
*I accepted a 5th grade teaching position at a great elementary school in my hometown!
*I checked out a new church this past Sunday and was INCREDIBLY blessed by the worship, sermon, and people that I met.
*I went to a small group meeting Sunday night through the church that I went to Sun. morning. It was very encouraging.
*Since I will be living with my parents for a while, I decided to paint my bedroom. It looks wonderful, if I do say so myself! :-)
*I've been very comforted by the "little blessings" that I keep seeing each day. It might be hearing an encouraging song on the radio, reading a verse, talking with a friend, getting an email, etc... The timing has been perfect!
*My brother, Bryan, is flying home this week, for the 4th of July holiday weekend. It's been a year since the last time I saw Bry. I'm so looking forward to seeing him!
*I've been taking advantage of the long summer days and great temperatures - enjoying great walks and chats with friends outside!
*I'm traveling to meet up with three close friends from Honduras in July. I'm grateful that I will get to spend time with these lovely ladies!
