bye bye blogger

aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, let me just let it out, guys stink (especially SOMEONE who always seems to make my life impossible by spreading lies about me!!!!!!!!!!) and I want to go to Orlando this weekend but I can't, work is tough, I got a bleach stain on my new pants, and I want my room back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I am frustrated right now, but it could be SOOOOO much worse....still, in my little corner,I'm just a little flustered right now...it'll be okay, I know.....Just needed to vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=0)

So....no work tomorrow because of hurricane Katerina, wooo hooo!!!! PARTEEEEEEEE!!!!! There isn't anything better than being able to chill at home, snuggle up to watch a good movie or read a book while you hear the rain outstide...I love it!
Well, God has been showing me SOOO much through this new job. I feel like the learning experience is helping to mold me into someone who is aware of many more things in life...like the fact that everything really is vain if you don't have God...and that the choices that you make earlier on in life will definitely affect you later on. I see these other girls at my work who are aides and single mothers, trying to make it on an almost minimum wage pay. And then sometimes I stop to think...that could have been me...if I had decided to take a different road. These girls are my age, and yet our lives differ so much.
Sometimes I feel strange...I am their supervisor, yet their struggles and needs are way greater than mine. I just pray that I may be able to show them how much God loves them and cares for them. I pray that they may be able to make wise decisions so that their children may be able to go on and make different choices. It's just amazing what you see when you get out there. Sometimes we get way too stuck in our bubble world, where we don't think about anyone but ourselves. But take a step outside, and you'll meet the greatest variety of poeple, each with their very own unique story, pain, dreams, hopes....These are the people that God loves. The people that he decided to lay his life down for...why can't we step out of our convinient worlds and reach out to them and show them that love? I hope that while I'm at this job my aides will be able to see that.

CrAzInEsS!

So, these past two weeks have been crazy beyond belief! I've realized that the hardest part of my job is not dealing with my students, but rather with the adults and my fellow coworkers. As humans, we're so imperfect...gosh, I miss the target so many times. I'm just feeling extra melancholic tonight. And I miss going to school...I'm a nerd.

Feeling blessed!!!

Yesterday was my first official day of paid "teaching"!!! I really love UCP, and I love my students. They are the cutest! Teaching pre-k is a completely different experience, I never realized that it took so much work. Most of the time I'm on the floor or running after a kid...let me tell you, I'm going to be in awesome shape! Not only that, but I get to take the metro to work and so far I've really enjoyed it. I feel like I'm back in Bogota, with the whole city vibe around me. I LOVE IT!
What I can't believe is that the summer is over! It started off with graduation, then the anguish of finding a job, and it ended with the realization that I have the best friends & family in the whole entire world =0)
I never thought that I would be so close to everyone at Calvary Chapel, and I never thought that I would grow to love my new friends, like Sherwin, Ely and LaShon so much!
Other stuff that changed this summer that was such an answered prayer was camp.....I was such a huge difference in everyone that went from Youth Nation...I'm so thankful for Jose, BJ, Belkis, Evelyn, Shawn and all the leaders for investing in the lives of YN =0) and let me just say, Youth Nation totally rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I probably sound pretty sappy but I don't care, I'm thankful for everything that God has given to me and I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Raquels I love you and I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
