I recently began reading a book by D. Platt called Radical. It has changed my Christian view and my opinion of the American Dream. America's dream is so contradictory to the life Jesus called us to. I hope to explore God's call for me in this coming year and how most of the time His call is hard and crazy, but good.

Faith: Not So Easy
Faith, hope and trust are words we hear almost on a daily basis. They seem so nice and innocent. Beautiful words to have on your mantle or framed above your sectional in your beautifully decorated living room. However, I have been seeing them as an extremely difficult part of my daily life lately. I have been in the transition period of moving, finding a new job and becoming a student once again. So far, nothing has worked out. I am overwhelmed, but desperately clinging to the promise that God works things out for me, because I am seeking His will in my life. I know I am supposed to go back to school. I am hoping that God has it in His plans for me to teach as well. It's important for me to be able to pay my bills and not be in debt. However, I have not had much luck in finding a job. SO, I am driving to Wake Forest Sunday and visiting schools (resume in hand) Monday and Tuesday. Overwhelming. I am praying that my faith+action= a job. I ask you to pray that God will direct my stops and give me favor with the principals I am able to meet with. I know God has this all planned out. I can't wait to brag about how He answered my prayers! Thank you for your support and prayers.
