"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Meeting Students

I am soooo excited about what this next year is going to hold in itself. I met all 5 of my students today and their parents. God is so good and I am very excited for the opportunity to teach these precious children of His that have been hand selected to be in my life and me in theirs.

Some of the parents shared what their need and want for their child was and it just amazed me to see how the gifts He has equipped me with will be used to see those things accomplised in these students lives this year. Praise the Lord.

I have to share about the Subway experience Monday night. Four of us teachers, all single girls, two Canadians and two Americans went to a stationary/teacher type store. On the way there a Korean women began yelling into her cell (hand) phone. This is something Koreans DON'T DO! She wasn't really what was entertaining, but watching the other Koreans on the Subway react to her and then watching them watch the four of us Foreigners. It was fun and something I may not ever see again. Then we chose to take the bus home and our bus driver hit someone on a motor bike. It was an experience to say the least.

I know that God moved and touched me with the book I read on my flight here, but I need to share what my friend whom gave it to me shared. It is just more of how amazing God is and how He has a plan and purpose for everything even when we don't see it or know it. Seize each moment He places before you!!! Here is what Andrea shared in her email:

It was touching to hear that you read that book and that it spoke to your heart. I cried, because when I was picking out something for you, I asked the Lord to show me something that he could use in your life. He knew what you needed at that moment! He is an awesome God!

Your in my prayers!

Love,
Andrea
