Letters of Contentment

So I guess this would be sort of a continuation from my last post... recently I have been praying alot that God would help me find pleasure in work and of course to bring me comfort in Shanes absence.  I don't know why I'm always surprised when my prayers are answered because they are always answered,  but this time it was an overwhelming blessing.  God came through when I needed him the most like he always does.  It has been so good to feel my relationship with the Lord grow during this time because I have fully relied on Him. I have started enjoying work a lot more! Although it still is not what I really want to do,  God has helped me find contentment in my work.

Today I got my first phone call from Shane :) yet another blessing from God.  And we have decided that once we get to our first station,  I'm going to pursue my masters in elementary education. I am so excited and I think the timing will be good for us.  It will allow us to pay some bills and I still want to give my current job a chance.  But my true passion is children. Thank you to Nora and Azalee for helping me realize this. Although i know that not all the children i work with will be as wonderful as these two,  i hope they are.  These two little girls have made one of the biggest impacts on my life.  They are so wonderful. I want to make an impact in other children's lives in the same way that these girls have made in mine <3 I want to inspire.

Well anyways,  the teaching adventure will be coming a little later but I will keep you updated on it! 

Along with my first phone call from Shane,  I also got his second letter today :) I thought I would share a  little of what he said so that everyone knows how he is doing.  He also told me during his phone call that he can't even count the amount of Times he had been able to share Christ!  I'm so proud of him and am so glad that he is giving his everything to God so that He can use Shane for His purpose <3 what a man.

"Read Romans 12:1 today,  loved that verse. I am going to a bible study at 10:45, and I think we should have an easy rest of the day (It's Sunday). Oh and I was made bay leader,  which is kinda cool they all respect me and listen to what the sergeants tell me to tell them."

He has been doing really well and is a natural leader :) I always knew that though.
