Walking in God's Blessings!



It’s been three weeks since we moved to Michigan and two weeks of my new job as a preschool teacher, and I couldn’t be happier! It’s rained like every day since we’ve been here mostly at night, but still fun! Last night I woke up and thought there was a sunk in our room, but apparently it was in our side yard digging for grubs…yum!

Let me break down "my so called life" for you…

My job is AWESOME! I teach 10 wonderful 4 and 5 year olds from 8:10-4:10 Monday through Friday. My school is located 22 miles away - roughly 30 minute drive depending on how awesome traffic is. My district rents out the school to another district except for the two preschool rooms and all of the preschool students are teacher’s kids from my district.

Our house is getting unpacked, slowly but surely. Matt’s primary focus has been the unmanaged land called our backyard before it gets too cold and snowy. It’s looking pretty good!  The inside is pretty much done. The office needs some work and we need to acquire some desks, but all in all boxes are no longer lining the hallway!

Last but certainly not least, church planting. The last two weeks we have checked out two different churches in the surrounding area just to see church culture, and to get some collective worship on. This last week we went to a church in Traverse City who announced that they were launching two new churches that day and when they flashed one of the families- we knew them! It was really exciting to see! The pastor was really friendly and wanted to meet up with us. Time to get our networking on!

On a side note Matt came across an Elevation CD which we haven’t heard yet (hallelujah) it’s the perfect mixed of 80’s beats and Jesus worship…enjoy!
