Moving out of Mallard

Image
Time has finally come to say goodbye to living at Mallard. Its amazing how fast 12 months has gone by. Kassandra, Alexi and I moved into this apartment May 2016 and now our 12 month lease is up. Alexi and i will be moving to another apartment 2 bedroom and 2 bath :) on june 15th. This apartment is being so generous about renovating our unit and giving us new flooring and stainless steel appliances. In the meantime, I moved all my boxes of stuff back home today. You realize how much stuff you own when it comes time to move out. I am just trying to make the best of living out of boxes for 18 days. As you recall my sister took my room when I moved out last year so she could have her own room. I am crashing on an air mattress. Least I have to wear a uniform at my job so as long as I have those clothes out I think I will survive ;) I think reflecting is a good strategy to use when processing life events and so I thought I would list some memories I made at Mallard.

With tomorrow being Mother's day I wanted to do a post that was dedicated to my Mom and Grandma. I am so thankful that God has placed them in my life.   Dear Mom, thanks for always being there for me, praying for me, standing up for me, encouraging me, texting me have a good days. I love that we can go walking together, shopping together and I can look to you and dad to steer in the right direction back to God.   To my Grandma- thank you for raising my mom and her sisters by yourself. You show me what a strong, faithful, dependent woman in God looks like. I love that you bake sweet treats, knit me a blanket, go to breakfast with me, always have a Cadbury egg or apple cider at your house for me when i come over. You never complain about the hard things life throws at you,  and continue to show me through your love that God will always be my Great Provider and Sustainer.

YAY!!!So my MN friends are probably as happy as I am about this weather. Its been in the 70 the past 2 days and is supposed to stay that way!! I am very happy about this since I start my job as a pre-k teacher next week.  The kids will love being outside. The title of this post came from my morning devo Everyday in His Presence  by Charles Stanley. I high recommend it .  Earlier this week I was praying that God would reveal to me qualities of His character. Then my devotional was about obeying God and leaving the consequences to Him. Then it went on to talk about how to handle different issues that may arise, such as anxiety, conflict, hurting, forgiveness toward other and vindication and sin in others. Then each issue had a Bible verse to go with it. Then after this I was reading Psalm 33, my Psalm for the month and my eyes were open to all these qualities that God has such as his power, his ability to save, his sovereignty, his eternity and his faithfulness. God is indescribable s
