I cannot believe that it is already 2009! 2008 was a great year. It was a year of traveling and learning more about myself. I LOVE to travel. Seriously, Russ jokes that no matter where someone is going ....even if it is an awful place, I want to go. But, I had never been able to travel outside of the United States. I began to open myself up and trust that God wants to give us the desires of our hearts. So, this year I was able to travel to Africa (Ghana) in April and Asia (China) in October. Russ and I also went to California in September. What a gift to be able to see how God is working in all of these places. Russ and I are praying about going back to one of these places this summer. Seeing the people, the places, really opened my heart and eyes to the people of this world.
I also celebrated the one year anniversary of giving up teaching and working at the girl's home. Switching from teaching into this field was a difficult transition. It was one of the first times that I stepped out in faith, scared as can be, but completely trusting that God had a new job for me and that teaching was not it. He has blessed my life so much by working with the girls.
2008 was a year of many firsts and I look forward to 2009!!!!! Happy New Year! ap
