Lately

So Spring Break was awesome. I absolutely love being at Give Kids the World. If I could work there, I would. I actually asked if I applied, would I get hired. Response? "Uh, yes. Beth is right there. You remember her, right? She'll hire you right now." Haha. So at least I know that if this whole teaching thing falls through, I've got a future at GKTW.

Speaking of teaching, I got the job at Puckett. Sidenote: Puckett is about 20 minutes from Brandon. So it is still in the Rankin County School District. I'll be teaching 3rd grade in a tiny school. I'll be teaching all subjects to a room of maybe 20 students. Whoa. This is going to be way different from anything else I've known. I am looking forward to it, though. Looking for a place to live. Ready to decorate!

On a more somber note, I had a seizure Friday morning. I was in Starkville alone. It really messed me up. Of course I was pretty beat up after, but it messed with my head more than anything. Mom came and got me. I spent Easter break in much pain, in a groggy state, and sleeping. She brought me back Monday since I had to go back to school Tuesday. This episode came out of nowhere really. So now every little thing that isn't normal scares me. All the "what if's" go through my mind and it's hard to go through the day with all that in my head. However, the good Lord is getting me through this. I could be really bitter about all of this. I am young. I am the only one in my family ever with this. However, He has graciously gotten me through each episode. He has saved me through so much. I praise Him for all that He has done. I mean, it could be a lot worse, right? It's a day by day deal. Even when my flesh fails, my God never will.

What else? Oh, I'm going to London this summer! I'll be gone for about 10 days. I'm going with MSU's BSU. We have partnered with a couple who have a heart for the lost people in their area. We'll be helping them build a church plant, build relationships, hang out with kids, build fences...who knows! I am so excited to see a new part of the world, meet new brothers and sisters, and do some Kingdom work! I never would have thought that this could be my life. God is good.
