It has been hot down here--stifling, energy draining, depressingly hot. So hot that the thought of walking to your car, driving somewhere, walking in a store, and then going home seems like too much effort. So today when it rained, East Texas collectively threw up its hands and sang, "Hallelujah!" The rain feel in a blinding torrent of much needed water that at first was hot as all get out and then a blessed cooling front came through. So, this evening was delightful compared to the past week. God is so good--the rain not only will nourish our very crispy vegetation but provided a break from the blistering heat.
I got back from MOP relatively uneventfully--what a blessed time! It was so encouraging to meet other like minded people, hear their stories, and hear where the Lord is directing them. I just wish there had been more time to pray about what I was hearing. I can't wait to see how God uses each one of us for His glory wherever He send us.
I'm starting to get everything ready to send to Zambia for my work permit. There is so much to do between getting my teacher's certification and MOVING to Zambia! I took my TExES content exam on Saturday--I feel pretty confident that I passed it. I'm just glad its over and I don't have it hanging over my head anymore. Now I just need to finish my last on-line class, attend the workshops on preparing for the PPR exam, student teach, and then to Sakeji I go!
I am still knitting--I'm trying to finish some things so I can put up pictures. I have been rather more ADD with my knitting that is my regular wont--I am really bad about getting to points and not wanting to mess with the next step in the project. I'm also playing a bit with calligraphy and illumination--I'll try and post pictures as I finish project in between all the other things I'm doing.
I can't wait for the Fall--cooler weather and a new adventure!
