I wish I had something brilliant to write about...
…but I don’t.
So I think I’ll just be.
It feels like a good day to just be.
Yeah.
Being is cool.

I pray you set your eyes on Jesus. He loves you so much. More then I ever will! Even though I will pour out everything I have with all the strength and courage I have, He seeks you out and loves being near you.
Tonight I pray for you—wherever you are—that God will bless, comfort, and heal you….
GUESS WHAT?!
I found out today that I will be teaching English in the classroom!!!!
An actual classroom, with actual students, and actual lessons that I put together : ]
I bet you couldn’t tell I was excited, right? Only just a little bit.
I thought I was going to be teaching Religion, but it turns out that I won’t be teaching that until about a year from now. English it is for the next...

Here we go! Spring Semester 2012
Feeling so much better about starting classes again tomorrow.
After talking with a couple of friends about some things, I think I found some extra confidence that was lying around somewhere unnoticed. Stuffed a good bit into my back pockets to use when I need it, and I’m certainly not going to let any of it go to waste.
I am Rachel— I am capable… and, better yet, I am...
Getting a little antsy.
School starts again in two days.
I’m not ready to get back into the grind of things just yet.

Lord, give me strength.
And a little extra motivation, too, please.
Thank you.

that the change is okay.
that the change was formed
by a journey so real.
(a journey marked by grace)

I have been waiting for you since I was a little girl. And lately I’ve been so lovestruck over you. I feel as though I’m already in love with you, even though I haven’t even met you yet. I pray for you all the time. That God will bless you with the most wonderful of days. I pray that He’ll bring…
