Big News!

So, I've been crazy busy because my whole life is about to undergo a big change. I am officially resigning from my position at Shepherd Center to become a fulltime student in a Masters in the Art of Teaching program at Kennesaw State University (go Owls? No I'm still a bulldog!). Yes, I know many are thinking that I'm crazy, not only to be a fulltime student again, but to want to be a teacher in this economy-crazy!  But I'm SO excited about this new adventure ahead of me. I know it's where I'm suppose to be right now in my life. The program lasts exactly one year, and I will come away with an MAT in secondary English. (I doubt my blogs will have any less grammatical errors though. This is blog-world, not high school English folks!)
As many of you know, I've always had a teacher's spirit and truly love making a difference in other's lives. I have a passion to inspire our youth! Plus, when I realized that the certification exam I had passed some years ago would soon expire if I didn't utilize it, I decided it was NOW or NEVER. I know it will just get harder and harder to go back to school, so I am thrilled about this opportunity. However, I will truly miss everyone and everything about Shepherd Center. It has been an amazing place to grow for the past two years, and I will continue to visit and hopefully volunteer myself one day.
Nevertheless, I have a lot ahead of me to complete a Masters in one year! Not to mention the fact that I have to move home and tie up all those loose ends that are involved with changing your life. :)  I can't wait though. More to come on this exciting journey....

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
