7 very powerful verses. Verses that symbolize a new way of living for me. I want to be a LIGHT here. I have had a hard week, and today a really hard day. But I do not want to be sad anymore- whether it's from missing my home, my friends, my family, or problems at school, or extra work hours, or feeling like I'm not making a difference here. This blog is my prayer that I will be STRONG and live like Jesus did. I want to always be a LIGHT to EVERYONE! Please pray for me that this will come true! And that I can make an impact here, even on days when I don't feel like I am :)

Birthday!

Today is my mommy's birthday. I miss her and I love her so much and I talked to her on skype today to show her my present for her: a croissant with 4 matches stuck in it so I could sing to her and she could pretend to blow out the candles (matches). I know, best present ever.

 Anyways, my mom is the best mom ever. If you want to read what my family thinks about her, click here.


I LOVE YOU MOM AND I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A GREAT DAY SO FAR! I wish I could be there!!

Happy Birthday, Benay :)

I Have Found Him

Yes, I have found him. I have found THE best soccer player in the world.

 He is better than Messi,

Pele,

and Ibrahimovic. 

He is cuter than Nilmar,

Beckham,

and Oscar.

He doesn't think he's the best like Cristiano Ronaldo,

Maradona,

or Neymar.

He is not as hot-tempered as Zidane, 

or Rooney,

nor is he a sore loser like Ronaldinho,

or Taison(remember his cry-baby face whenever he missed a goal? and that happened A LOT).

He is a good team captain like Donavan,

never quits like Guinazu, 

and will give God more glory than Kaka ever has.

I have found him. 

And his name is Garrett Blume.

I love you Garrett and am praying for you!!!

My Boys

Love these boys - my students!!! They are all so different,  and sometimes disobey, but are all such GOOD kids. They learn very quickly and like to hug. So, I like them. A lot.

Found some that can flip their eyelids as well!

Aren't they just CUTE?
