Last two weeks.

So this week and next week are my last two weeks of teaching. Man has it been a WILD ride this year. In so many ways it has been absolutely wonderful! I have been blessed by so many people here. I really think that I have been ministered to more than I have actually been ministering.

The Lord has shown me that this year has been a year of growth for me. He has taught me so much. He is a perfect and patient educator. He gives me lessons in His word then as most teachers He gives a test. It is always something so applicable to my life. And even though I have been through this so many times, I am always surprised when I am able to come out on the other side with new knowledge of Him and also myself in Him.

I have been blessed with many new relationships that I know will continue to grow as I move into next year. Quality time is very important to a lot of people here. Those one on one 'dates' for tea or coffee, or just sitting down and talking are so important and that is how people connect. The funny thing is, I haven't been pursuing those relationships, but He just drops them right in my lap, and people start pursuing that time with me. It's a good thing quality time is one of my love languages.

Life is so sweet, and He is SO good! Thanks for following along this year. I hope to keep up with this blog into next year. This spring has been crazy so a blog post every week has kind of gone out the window. But I will try to be better at keeping you updated on what is going on. :) Thanks guys!!

Here are a few pictures of my recent trip to a chateau here in the Czech Republic close to Ostrava.
