Tomorrow I embark on an adventure in my educational career. Due to flooding at our school, we are being relocated. As strange as it sounds, I’m excited. I’m excited to learn from my coworkers as we co-teach our kindergarteners. I’m excited to see my sweet littles since I have seen them 1.5 days this entire month. And I’m excited for this opportunity the Lord has given me. I’ve been praying for the chance to grow in my knowledge of teaching. To be able to see other teachers in action. Yet again, he answered my prayers! This shouldn’t come as a shock to me since the Lord continually shows up in my life, but my heart is content and excited about this new adventure for the next 9 days. Prayers for a smooth transition for our littles and for them to be showered in so much love!! 
Between COVID and a Texas Blizzard I had to go wayyyy too long without seeing my boy. It was a perfect day for some Jesus and Wade time. 
Today the Lord blessed me tremendously! I was able to listen to one of my soul sisters (@lauraackley525 ) teach the word of the Lord to a wonderful group of ladies and watch one of my other soul sisters (@esd20 ) lead worship. Plus the Lord gave me an opportunity to stand up and give my testimony of how Jehovah Nissi has been my banner through trials I’ve faced. The only thing that would have made it better is if my final soul sister (@tabitha_m_powell ) was able to make it. I’m so thankful for the group of people that put together our women’s conference. God did some amazing work today! Check out the film video of our conference here: https://www.facebook.com/100000948500687/posts/5078189485555951/?d=n 
With the temperatures starting to rise I know there will be an increase in the number of problems we will all discover with our homes. We must do our part in fixing our thoughts on Christ. It’s so easy for us (definitely myself included) to fixate on our frustrations and anger and sadness. Already today I’ve had to actively renew my thoughts numerous times to align with Christ. It’s not easy. It goes against my basic human instinct and sinful heart, but when my heart is aligned with Christ and my thoughts are fixed on Him I feel an overwhelming sense of peace to conquer anything thrown my way because I know that Lord is my Banner. 
This is how I feel when I think about warmer temperatures next week 😜🙌🏻 Seriously though, while I love a good snow day, this has been intense. So many people without power and water. It’s truly heartbreaking. I’m very much looking forward to some sunshine and T-shirts! 
This Texas blizzard isn’t so bad with my best friend by my side. I gotta be honest, I’m loving this extra time at home with him. We’ve had a tough year. Losing our sweet boy has put a break in both of our hearts that isn’t mendable, but God is so amazing and gracious and loving to help us cling to each other. Today I am thankful for Drew. God knew what He was doing (🤣 duh) when He put us together. I love you Drew Whistler. 
So what do we do when it’s well below freezing and we are experiencing rolling blackouts? We make snow ice cream!
