Suit case = stupid

Having officially lived out of suitcases for over a month, the vacation feeling is beginning to wear off. It is fun to an extent. Washing your clothes one by one in your bathroom sink, eating out every night, regular cleaning ladies, and friends all close by, are all fun things and something I am glad I have been blessed to experience. But eventually, the crispness of your air dried clothes, not cooking, and not being able to have a place to put your belongings just makes you feel as if you are not in the right place.
We have about 3 days left here in Beijing and we are then off to our home in Nanjing! I am excited to unpack and get settled in a place I can call my own. But with that excitement comes sadness. I am not looking forward to leaving our friends here! Moving to Nanjing makes this China thing feel very real. (I know what you are thinking, you are in China...and it doesn't feel real?) Its real, but moving into a new home, feels like a long time. haha
So, With all of that being said, life here has been great! I have so many photos I don't know what to do with them all. Friends are amazing and I feel more and more excited to be doing what the Father has called me to do!

Home Sweet Home

The time has finally come to reveal what you all have been longing for......our home! I really wish I had taken before pictures, so you could see what all we did to the place. Here is the result of all our creativity and shopping trips back and forth from store to store. We don't have any decorations up yet, just the main necessity things...but soon I hope to add some color with pillows, art, and some throw blankets!!

First Day of School

First Day of School. The same nerves that run through everyone on their first day of school were kicking in as I walked up the stairs to room 203. I have never taught at a college level before, I definitely have not taught Chinese. Would they like me? Would they be able to understand? All these worries and thoughts were flying around my brain, but within an instant the madness stopped! As I let go of Jeremy's hand and stepped foot into my classroom, I was immediately filled with peace and joy! Their smiling faces and eager hearts just makes you melt :) I greeted the 10 or so students who arrived early and then began writing on the chalk board. It may be messy, but writing on a chalk board is totally teacher and made my day. The first class went well, it was a little bumpy but for the most part my lesson was accomplished and the students left smiling. As that class left, the second arrived and I started all over. This time with a passion and a confidence. I loved Teaching! ...

Not a Monk

How does someone know the Father has “called” them to something? I have always wondered what people had to do in order for them to be called or spoken to by the creator himself. I figured you had to be a monk or a pastor of some sort.             I remember when Jeremy and I were engaged and in pre-marriage counseling. Our pastor, of course, had to bring up China. This was a topic of so many discussions. Will we go back? (Probably a no) Do you want to go? (Definite no) Do you feel like the father would have you stay here in Evansville? (Yes, that is correct) I was not being “called “ to China. Nor did I feel like that was in my future.             I have always known that the Lord has made my heart special and that I felt as if he was going to do something different through me than an average young adult. I never knew what that was, but always felt that deep inside. After one...
