Identity
The past week, my head has been clouded with thoughts of who am I? What am I contributing to the world? What is my purpose? I had to trust that my identity is in Jesus and that no matter what I do, I will do it for him. He will lead and direct my path.
God has opened up a door for me to teach 8th grade Language Arts. With this decision came joy and peace, knowing that I was called to do this. Now, I am in Grand Rapids for the week for New Teacher Training. In so many ways, I feel like a new teacher. I am having to learn new processes, programs and classroom management for a whole different age group.
I am choosing daily, per minute and sometimes per second to trust in God Almighty. Overwhelming feelings have hit and I am faced with many decisions, I am unsure how to make. God will provide.

Are We there Yet?
I had quite an eventful drive from South Carolina to Michigan. Larry and I both drove our cars full of our stuff up north to Michigan. We drove 6 hours one day and 5 hours the next. I believe it was the most I have ever drove in 2 days. GO ME!!! It was loooooooonnnnnggg and boring following the same SUV for several hours. Not to mention, I almost hit countless deer, got flicked off several times and reflected in the car about how much I am going to miss S.Carolina.
Now, I am in MICHIGAN, and in the city of tomorrow, today big Ol' T-ROY! It doesn't really feel like we moved, it feels like we packed way too much for a long vacation. Its odd going from 2,306 sq. ft in our house to a 12 x 12 room that is now my home for the next month. I am remembering the things I love about Michigan though. I have felt a cool breeze for the first time in 2 years. The one that almost gives you chills, but not quite. I am loving seeing my mom and dad. It feels so good to give them hugs and have a face to face conversation.
Larry starts his new job tomorrow. I am praying for him, that he could rise above and meet the challenges that he may face at Corporate. This is a new job in a new area, where he will have to start over. I know that with God, Larry can achieve his dreams.
Tomorrow, begins more schoolwork. I am waiting for the freedom that will come on Wednesday when my grad schools are done for the semester.
Well, I will keep you posted as to my adventure.
