I'm back!

Hello friends, family, and partners!

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update. I have been enjoying my family and everyday has been full of events. I’m still teaching. School was supposed to be over May 16th, but we have so many make-up days. We won’t get out until the 28th! The kids are getting a little antsy…and so are all the teachers. We had weeks of standardized testing and I think all of our brains are DONE.
Last month I went to Atlanta, Georgia for Spring Break. I had soooo much fun…I even stayed an extra day! I went to visit my friend, Yolanda, and to just get some nice r&r. We went everywhere together. I attached some photos of The Georgia Aquarium. If you are ever in Atlanta, you must go visit the aquarium…it’s worth the money.
Spring break was also a time of a personal breakthrough. There were so many things that I was praying to God about. When I was in Atlanta, I went to Free Chapel. It seemed like Pastor Franklin was speaking right to me. I was so excited that I called my pastor. As I was on the phone with him, it was like rivers of living water just flowed out of his spirit. (I have to admit, at the time I did not want to roll on that river. But it was good for me, if you get my drift) After our conversation, prayer, and faith put in action, such a heavy burden was lifted. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
