Questions linger without answers. People ask me " When do I start? What will I be doing? What are my hours? What location?  What is your salary?"  To be honest I ask myself those questions and strongly desire answers.  The answer is " I don't know. Only God knows." Trust is a lesson that can be learned over and over again when you think you are fully trusting.  I have a type A personality and need to know all the answers so I can adjust my schedule accordingly.  This past week I accepted two jobs: a part time barista job at Caribou Coffee ( my favorite place) and a long term sub position working with small groups of students at edinbrook elementary. Both these jobs required me to take the step of faith and trust that God is in control and knows all the details.  I  was lacking peace and control and didn't know what to do about the two jobs before I accepted them because I didn't have much information to make my decision on. I realized God

Yesterday I went to Nickelodeon Universe with my friend Adelyn. We bought wristbands so we could go on all the rides.  I have never smiled or screamed as much as I did yesterday when I went on Avatar Airbender, Pepsi Orange rollercoaster, the logchute or the Rock Bottom roller coaster. It was a much needed break from days of job searching and interviews. Here are some pictures from our day at the Mall of America. Sometimes you just need a day to go on a fun outing and forget about everything you are going through and focusing on the fun that is right in front of you.

This past weekend I got the chance to up north. I mean beyond Duluth up to Lutsen and even to Grand Marais for a day. If you have never been you must take a chance and go there. I loved it up there and I got to see God's glorious creation. Our cabin was on Lake Superior and it was so beautiful. Lutsen Sea Villas   I think I spend the majority of my time sitting on the rocks to listen to the waves. Then the Holy Spirit convicted me of the discontentment I was battling and how it was hindering my relationship with God. I just wanted to be a full time teacher or have a long term sub job. Let's get real: We always want more and that is what I wanted. I wanted God to bless me with a job right now. FINALLY He got my attention and I SURRENDERED it all!! I gave it to God and said "let your will be done. Let your desires be my desires. " Then this light breeze blew across the lake and I can't describe the abudance of peace I felt. I knew it was from my Hevanly Fa

Wow! Crazy! Long time no see!!  These are our all sayings that came out of my mouth as I came upon my blog. The last time I have written I was still a freshman at Crown College. Now I am a 23 year old, second year teacher. Time truly does fly when your having fun. Now would I say that about this past year, I don't think so. That is another story for another time. The reason I started blogging again is because being an extrovert and external processor, I wanted to be able to share everything that I am learning about in my walk with God. He is teaching me so much and I want to share it with anyone that will listen and maybe you will be able to relate. Good news !!!! I was able to find a mentor who is a second grade teacher in the Spring Lake Park district. She is a believer and I can't wait to get to know her more as we walk alongside each other encouraging and praying with one another.  Flashpoint: I am learning that God is my heavenly Father who really does delight in th
