5 More Weeks of School

I know that every time I blog I apologize for not being more consistent in writing every week. Life gets busy as a teacher if you didn't know ;)

Well, it's May now... Happy Mother's Day to all you moms. This world would not exist without you. Lately I have been homesick and wanting to go home. It's been 9 months since I have been home to North Carolina. That's the longest I have ever been away from them. I am looking forward to going home on June 19th!

This past weekend I went to Amapala (the volcanic island south of the mainland of Honduras) with Keri. I wanted to go to spend time at the beach. The beach is my place. It's a place where I can think, ponder, and make decisions. Keri's company is definitely one of the best things in the world. I don't know what our future holds, but it's great to have your best friend by your side for support and advice. God has blessed me with such an amazing Christian role model.

I went to Michigan for 10 days during Holy Week. It was a wonderful time to spend with "family" and friends. I truly miss you all and can't wait to see some of you in June. It's amazing to me the relationships I have with people and how beautiful it truly is. If you think about the different communities you are a part of, I'm sure you can list at least 5: church, school, work, family, neighborhood, etc. The trip was cold with rain, sleet, hail, and snow, but I felt so loved.

I visited the school I student-taught at and God has brought an amazing opportunity in front of me to possibly work there next year. This is my prayer request today. May I hear His voice and follow His plan. He is faithful and I need to trust Him. Who knows, maybe I'll be seeing you sooner than you think :) Also pray for my students as we finish the school year. It has been a great year and I can't believe it's almost done. Can you?
