He will sustain..

I've almost reached the one week mark, and oh my it has been crazy. I am so happy to be here...I know I am exactly where the Lord wants me to be; however, that doesn't take away the fact that there are challenges.

Adjusting after jet-lag, a new home, a new manual car (on the wrong side of the road), driving in a place I don't know, getting lost, car alarms, relationships, the list goes on and on.....

My Father is teaching me that this journey is me and Him. He is the one that will sustain me---He is the one I go to with my troubles, my frustrations, my anxiety, and every other emotion that hits me during the day.

This journey is so much bigger than me--He is writing a story, and I am simply allowed to be a part of it. The fact that He is all I need is something that I am experiencing completely for the first time. I am thankful for sweet friendships that He has given me--to encourage me and challenge me----but there is no better comfort than the loving arms of my Father.

Tomorrow I officially start working at the school! yay :) I'm very excited--I will be teaching first grade--it shall be interesting :)

Thank you for all the prayers! Please continue to lift me up....it is greatly appreciated :) Please pray that the Lord will give me strength and wisdom in different situations...pray that I will be able to show the love of Jesus to my kids everyday...
