Why HELLO THERE! If you're popping on here to read my blog, I salute you. It's been a rather scarce experience, as of the last few months. I'm going to be persistent in the next few weeks and try to muster some ideas and time to keep on writing. Writing is something I really love to do and there are things in the works for sure. I've been writing a lot lately but not for pleasure and I really don't like that. I started grad school classes in February and that has taken a majority of my time along with leading the youth ministry at our church. It's been a whirlwind for sure. My husband and I prayerfully considered our offer to lead youth ministry for weeks until coming to the decision to take the plunge and dive in head first. We are now the primary youth ministry leaders at our church, with little knowledge on what the crap we are doing but we trust God, He always knows what He is doing. We were both pretty reluctant to start leading youth ministry but God kept tugging on us and it became clear this is where we are meant to be. It's been a huge blessing this past month and a learning experience at that. I've been learning a lot lately and it's not always joyous. I'm learning to speak to youth about God and typically, as a 6th grade teacher, I've never been allowed to do that, so it's cool. It's rather exciting having an opportunity to speak about how God has shaped me and who God is in my life. I'm enjoying it to say the least. :) Also, grad school. OFTA! It is SO much hard work and late nights but by now I'm used to it and I've adapted quite well to sleeping less than 8 hours a night. Hey, I'm young and if I didn't do grad school now, I probably never would. It's pretty expensive which frustrates me but ehh sometimes you have to spend some money. Oh well. I'm learning so much about Education which is super rad. I love learning, as most teachers do. I think the best thing about teaching is that I'm constantly learning and it's fun to learn new things. Oh and my nephew was born in February! A month early at that! He is a treasure and it's super fun being an auntie (I've never been one before). New roles are always on the horizon. It's March and finally sunny in Minnesota. We've experienced some major flooding in my hometown and it will probably only get worse. If you would pray for the floods in the Midwest that would be helpful. The school I work at had three inches of water in the Kindergarten classrooms last week and it was rather frustrating. Life man. It's been so full lately! I'm grateful. Please check in soon if you're here now. I'm going to write more, I hope! :) Until then, here's my lil life update that's been the past few months or so. We're finally getting out of the darkest months of the year and entering into some light, so my attitude has shifted and I'm ready for positivity and growth that come with this new season.
