Update time

Sorry it has taken me so long to blog. School has begun and I am back into the swing of things. I love teaching! I don't think there is anything better than impacting a young life for Christ. God has given me a great place to work and with great people.

My friend Julie did get over to visit Yosef and took several photos. Here is a pic of his little torso, hands and mouth. He is so beautiful! I can hardly wait to show all of you his full pictures. I can not believe how huge his eyes are. Wow God...you are so good.

The courts have closed from Aug. 21-Oct. 6 and I will have to wait to hear for a court date during this time. I hope my adoption agency gives me updates as we wait. Meanwhile, I am getting to know my 23 kids in 5th grade and preparing for his arrival.

I am still trying to figure out what to do about daycare. Being single and an educator is rough. I know God is going to help in this situation. I keep saying to myself to relaxing and let go. If you know me, that is so against my nature. :)

Sunset Beach

I have just spent the last three days at Sunset Beach for a little bit of focus time before school starts back up. I won a stay at Sunset Inn on the island during the teacher appreciation dinner and it was wonderful. This island is about 2 miles long and 1/4 mile wide. The beaches were crowded near the pier, but it was great for people watching. I now understand why they call it The Sunset Inn. I took a few pics of the front porch and the sun going down on Saturday night. I am thankful for this time to reflect on my summer and for what my future holds. I heard that a friend has a court date this Thursday in Ethiopia. May God show favor on this little girl and allow this family to pass court. God is so good.
