I think when you have an attitude of servanthood to humankind, it's easier to forgive. You see that holding grudges or anger against someone really doesn't serve others. It doesn't serve yourself, either. Several years ago when I became a professional teacher, I also adopted the attitude that my number one responsibility is to serve … Continue reading March 9 | Forgiveness

Pacific Northwest Buzz
I've been in Portland for a little longer than 24 hours and I am in love. Is it really any surprise? I basically love any new city or place within minutes of being there, whether it's El Paso, Texas or Madrid, España. I'm quite impulsive like that. 😉 I'd never been to the PNW before, … Continue reading Pacific Northwest Buzz
Busy.
We are in the fifth week of the semester already. This week has been crazy! It's not that things I do are particularly challenging; it's that every couple hours I'm starting something different. I practically live in Liberal Arts building. But I love this program. This week I taught a class in preparation to teach … Continue reading Busy.
A whirlwind week
Yay, it's Friday! Although I've been going since 7ish this morning, it's been a good day. In fact, all the days this week were good despite getting home late Tuesday (I have a night class) and Aaron's crazy work schedule. One night he even had to go back in to work. Blech. I'm loving my … Continue reading A whirlwind week
A challenge for every day of the week
I have to say... I quite content right now as a stay-at-home wife/nanny/tutor/seamstress/entrepreneur????/short-term missionary/volunteer "Sunday school" teacher/dog trainer... I think some of the best jobs are ones whose titles you really can't pinpoint to a couple words. Even with Husband Man being gone for almost three weeks (he comes home in two days, wheeeee!!) I've … Continue reading A challenge for every day of the week
Staying missions-minded
As time goes on, it's becoming more and more evident to us that we are being called into missions. "Called" can be a term thrown around in the Christian circles.. but basically what I mean is that we have a very strong inclination and desire to go. Aaron still has four years left in the … Continue reading Staying missions-minded
Like a boss
This week I had a breakthrough at work. Today was my first "good" day in a long time. Not "okay" or "not bad" but "good". I think with all the change and uncertainty surrounding our cross-country move and finances, I've been on edge. Life changes take some getting used to, but this one's been six … Continue reading Like a boss
Where I need to be
I'll admit it: when I quit my job teaching high school Spanish, I was bitter about having to leave. I thought I would be swept off my feet to join my husband in Korea for three years, and it all fell through. I felt like I quit my job for nothing. I was sad to … Continue reading Where I need to be
