In October of 2007 I was privileged enough to travel to South Africa and experience holding a 4 month old lion cub. Make no mistake, at such a young age, this cub was big, heavy, and very dangerous. That is the reason why I find this video your’e about to see so fascinating! Love knows no boundries!

Today was one of the toughest days I’ve had to live in a long time. I dont know exactly why, but going to give my resignation at my current job made me nervous. I dont think I’ve ever been this nervous about anything in my life before. Af first I was shaking and then I began to laugh during the meeting!! Can you believe it?? He was so confused and didnt know why I kept doing that from time to time. It was very ebarrassing. Thats never happened to me before.
The meeting ended up lasting an hour and a half and it was very difficult. He tried everything within his power to get me to stay; from money offers, to calls to the president’s office, to calls to co-workers. I found myself questioning my decision at times but I know in my heart Im doing whats right. I cant give details here of the things that were said and done during the meeting but it was a memorable one. Talk to me later.
So, all that to say, its official. New job, new start, and no France anytime soon. We are here to stay!!

Thank you to everyone who prayed for my interview on Monday and to everyone who has been calling or sending messages to ask how it went. Here is the update:
Both the director of the honors program and the vice principal were very impressed with me. I thank God for his favor through it all. They said I was “a gift walking through our doors”. I am an answer to their need, but they are a huge answer to mine!
Because of the type of position they have open, there have been a lot of other people who have applied as well. They told me that by law they have to be fair and interview no less than 4 people who apply to the positions. So they said they were going to try to get them in and out the door so they can call me later this week and make me an offer. So unofficially the job is already mine! Praise God!
More details to come when they call.

Hello world!
I know its been a while sine I’ve blogged. All the traveling is now finished and Im happy to be back home. I was at church today for the first time in over a month and I missed it a lot. I wanted to let you know that I was recently given a job offer as a Spanish and French teacher at Rickards High School. If I get the job, this would mean a huge pay increase as well as a better teaching environment. I love my current job and my current students but the financial stress is too great. I got tomorrow (Monday) morning for an interview. Pray that God’s will be done… which is hopefully that I get the job!!!!!
PS. If I get this job, we will be staying in Tally until further notice. I have noticed everyone has liked that part of the testimony. lol

Back before “Bleeding Love” became popular and not a lot of people knew who Leona Lewis was, I posted a blog speaking of her talent. She has really blown up, but unlike many artists who really cant sing well but just put out catchy songs, her talent is unique and real. The following clip is from one of the X Factor (UK Idol) episodes. Its amazing.
