The Sorrow:
My family is going to the North Shore this week and I have to confess that the thought of my family being at the North Shore without me is VERY hard!!! I have not missed this trip for ten years. It will be hard and yet I know this is what God wants for me at this point in my life. I am very happy where I am, because I know that God put me here. But please pray for me during this time as I miss my family and our family trip.
To my family:
I will miss you all so much, and I will miss spending time with you at our favorite place. I love you all more than I can ever tell you!!!
But now for the Joy: (my students)
Well, I bet you have been wondering what my three students look like. Here are some pictures of them:
So as you can see my hands are full!!! I love these kids alot. They are awesome at learning plus they have great hearts. I am so blessed to have three really good students.

Dear Z,
ReplyDeleteYou are very missed! The church retreat just isn't the same without you-Cotton Eyed Joe doesn't last as long, Katie doesn't laugh as much, and Mr. O has all the cookies to himself. Come back soon! But I"m praying for you as you seek to be a blessing there. Grow in Jesus!
Love,
Alison

Zhenya (think about the way your dad says it when you are in trouble!) We enjoyed seeing the pics of you at your new location. We miss you around here! We see your pic on the fridge every day, and it is a good reminder to pray for you. Gotta go for now, but wanted to say hi.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much!!! I miss you all so much also! I am humbled by your love and support! I was so touched by your notes. I love you all!
