Fall has arrived..

The leaves are changing color and there's a coolness in the air.. fall is here. Although we are still having warm days with beautiful sunshine, the moment it's gone you feel the chill of the autumn season. This is my favorite season, I can't help but feel inspired by all the beauty!!

Yesterday was my 3rd week of Junior Youth. It's going well and I'm really enjoying the kids. Although I do have a pretty large small group of grade 6 girls (11 of them) by myself, so it's a little tough to get their attention and keep them on track. Pray for me that I can have an influence on these young girls and for patience as I'm sure I'll need it!

I've been doing a lot of thinking the past while as where I want to go from here... Do I want to go back to Lesotho? Do I want to do missions elsewhere? Do I want to travel? Do I want to stay in Grande Prairie? What do I really want to do? Where is my passion and what should I do with that passion? Well I know where my passion is.. it's kids! Kids need people in their lives that can influence and encourage them. They need people who see value and purpose in their lives. They need people who love them! I earnestly believe God has given me a gift with children and I want to be able to use that for His glory.. wherever I am.. whether that be here or across oceans.

As of just recently, I have enrolled into an online home-study program on "Child Psychology". I really look forward to getting started and learning more! Whether I decide to further this into a career or not, I know that it will benefit me as I work with kids now and most likely in the future.

So I think I'm going to be pretty busy this fall/winter. Two jobs, junior youth & schooling! But I'm happy with everything I have committed to and I tend to be one of those people who enjoys being busy anwyays :) I just have to make sure not to overdo it and take time to relax.. that can be a tough one for me sometimes!

Until next time...
