Blogging

I am enjoying blogging but cannot decide what colors to use. The layout is kind of boring... My new profile pic includes my doggie friend Abby who I got to live with and take care of for a week. She is a very nice dog and makes me miss Aspen just a little less.

Time changes things, God moves

God has brought me so far from this same day last year. I road a crotch rocket to the Saturday Parade last year, this year I am not even living in Michigan.

So many deep thoughts have been going through my mind these past few days: Where will God have me move next (in Fort Worth)? Who will he have me live with? Is God leading me towards a new job? A better paying job? A different career? Will I actually be able to go see my family in August or will I not be able to take the time off from work because other people have already requested off or I am just starting a new job? Will I ever meet my prince? (This question I have been asking for almost a decade now)

All the answers to these questions have already been answered and maybe not in the way I think they would be but only God knows. My hope is in Him.

My mom has been a tremendous help with my frustrations lately. She lets me call and just purge all my frustrations on her and tells me she is praying for me daily. I feel bad for venting to her all the time but it really helps just voicing my frustrations to someone who cares. Thank you Mom for helping once again through a hard time.

For those of you who know my mom you know what a wonderful person she is. In fact, I am crying now as I write this because sending her a card for Mother's Day just does not do my thankfulness justice. I wish I could be home to give her tons of hugs and spend all of Mother's Day with her. She has been my earthly strength while God has been my unearthly strength. Thank you Mom for caring about me so much that you continually listen to me vent and then always have something inspiring to say in response.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you! I miss you!

Piggy Flu

Do not fear. So far I have been safe from the piggy flu. We already wash our hands and the kids' hands like crazy so hopefully no one at my work will get sick.

I have another name for you. Today one of the kindergartners called me "Mystery". I know I have heard him say it before but forgot to add it. When I tried to have him repeat my name after I said it he ended up saying "Miss Arie". I love it, they always make me smile.

Today was a record breaker. I was in six of the seven classrooms at one time or another today. That was the most in one day since I started working at La Petite. It just means I know all the kids in the center :)
