This is me and my ramblings...

Dear People who actually read these (or just look at the pictures),

How has life been treating you? Oh geed something sticky is on my keypad. The problems of using your laptop in the kitchen as your nook cook book. Anyway life here is going pretty good. I had a very good day today. So that was a blessing. This is the last trimester of the year and i have to admit i was not looking forward to this trimester because i felt at the end of the 2nd one that we all (students and teacher) really just needed a longer brake then two weeks. The first week was ruff and slowwww. And that put dread in my heart as i looked ahead at the next 11 weeks. But thankfully by the next week things got back into there routine and things kept up their normal reckless rate. Which is scary sometimes because you are making memories that you will relive for the rest of your life so why rush through it right? But the honest fact right now is that just now i am starting to get just a little homesick. I'm ready to have a break from school, get of this tiny island and see friends and family. That makes me sound ungrateful. So i will share some blessings or things that i enjoyed..

1. great day free of stress (almost), good kids

2. had a swing ride again, its been who knows how long :)

3.I (ho ho actually totally a God thing) had great inspiration on keeping things moving and interesting in school (now just need to keep it up)

4. healthy

5. clean sheets

well i'll stop there...

Anyway lets see what do i need to update you all on? (look back on last blog)

ahh yes right before school started. friends and VBS and stuffmubobsters..

Well ya not much to say that hasn't been said already. Amanda and Natalie's brothers came to visit for a week. The 14th of April i turned old. And felt like a celebrity at school with all the kids coming us to me and wishing me a happy birthday or giving me a card or some other creation. And i got several visits from the 5th grade girls who acted all shy about it. Then for teachers meeting i got a giant cinnamon roll birthday cake and lots of ice coffee. So it was a great day. And now this Wednesday they are taking me out to eat probably. Foe a staff meeting we went to Morne Gazo. Had a fun evening with all the great LaBorie staff. Which i'm going to add as # 6

6. a great staff team!

Well anyway maybe a few pics and then i will go for now.

first a few prayer request...

1. A young teen guy here who is really searching right now. I lent his a book (palace beautiful) and it really got him thinking. He came by and asked if i had another book like that. He said he felt like the book was talking about him. How sin can make you feel good and stuff. And he told me he is going to believe in God no matter what. I don't know if he has made a commitment yet but i know he has come close or to this place before but its a really big step for him. So pray he will totally give up all to follow Christ. I gave him another book but i haven't hear if he read it or if it was kind of a in the moment thing earlier. But i believe in the power of prayer.

2. A younger mother of two children. Her boy would be in our school in 1st grade. She use to come to church regularly when she was younger but stopped. She is now suffering panic attacks. She has come back to church just recently because of this and is praying. She wants her children to grow up in the church also. She has been doing better with her attacks this past week but pray she will not get comfortable with her life again and quit coming to church and praying. And pray that her spiritual walk with God would grow.

3. staff needs we REALLY need guy and girl teachers down here.

4. the current staff. for grace, patience, love and more love, wisdom, understanding, unity, passion to actively show and speak about God. And our personal walks with Him that they will be strong.

well i will stop there or you may get overwhelmed or something. :p
