Earthquakes......

Well I am back....

Last night was an experience that I have lived to tell about...

I was in bed sleeping when all of sudden my dresser and bed and table started shakin. I was in the middle of an earthquake. i have never had this experience before so I did not what one felt like. It took me a while to fall back asleep. I have some obsevations from last night.

When I awoke during the earthquake and it was over there were things that I was trying to figure out.

Ok Here they are:

1. Was it me? Was I dreaming that there was an earthquake and I was just moving in bed?

2. Was it an earthquake? Really? Nobody forwarned me of this!!!

3. I must be crazy! Insane actually. Maybe I just woke up suddenly.

4. There were some parties going on next door, so I thought that it was so loud that it was shaking my room! ( that is by a longshot that answer).

Well when I got to school I found out from people that yes there was an earthquake, and that made me feel good that I am rational and not seeing things!!!!

Thought you would like to share in that humor.... Have a great day!!!!!

Update....:) Thoughts from a Teacher.....

Hi Friends,

I know that I should have already updated this blog but I have been extremely busy with lotss to do!!!!

I have arrived in Tirana, and it has been wonderful.

Here are some of my observations since starting school;

1. God has brought me to such an amazing school who is very much focused on the students and their hearts.

2. I am encouraged by the teacchers remarks of how they are so excited that they have a bible teacher which has been a real need at the school. I am excited that I can fill that need!!!!

3. The students. The classes are small and I am looking forward to developing good relationships with these kids. I am working with middle school students and which was my hardest part in school life. I think that God has done this for a reason. God is so good in his promises.

4. One of the classes that I am teaching is Acts, and I am doing that in my devotions,God has been teaching me some awesome stuff through the Book so that I relay that on to the middle school students.


Thank you for your involvement in my ministry, and until we talk again....
