Flooding and cute cartoons

I thought this was super cute. I found it on a friend's blog. I unexpectedly am off work today because of major major flooding in my area. I've never seen anything like it before. I'm just waiting now to be able to get out of my neighborhood. My area is getting a lot of attention on the news because we seemed to have been hit the hardest. Yikes. You know its bad when all the area school districts have closed schools on a major TAKS testing day. Oi vey.

Well, go to www.awomansworld.com and make your own cute character. I thought this one was fairly close to me, except they didn't have any cute short curly hair...just one that looked like a fro/mop. So I am wearing straight hair.

Have a lovely day! More exciting blog posts coming soon...I've been storing up my thoughts!

I'm in love....

....with China!

Sorry. That was a mean trick. I missed April Fool's so I thought I'd get a quick trick in.

Anyways, now that I have been back 2 weeks, I decided it was high time for an update. Leading up to this trip, life was just hard. Not neccessarily bad - just hard. The week before, I felt very heavily spiritually attacked and was kind of anxious going into up until about 2 days before the trip. However, once we got there that all left and wow...what a trip. The biggest thing I can say is that I never have observed the power of the Lord work in such a mighty way in such a concentrated amount of time. I just don't have the words to describe it. I loved my English students and getting to share life and Jesus with them. They were so eager and so hungry and it was just amazing. I can't wait to go back! And I'm not even playing. I was kind of waiting for the high to come down, but as it comes down, I still miss it terribly there. I was not ready to leave the Sunday we left. I could sit down and write all the details of the trip but that would be a tremendously long post and a lot to type. Maybe I'll do it bit by bit on here. But I feel like when I say I will write things on here, I never do it. So no promises. Just know that my heart is in China right now, not where I expected it to be.

Hope y'all are doing well! Blessings!
