New at this...

Hey everybody! Sooo I never thought of myself as a blogger type of person, but I figured this is a good way to keep in touch with you all, seeing as my phone/text/social time is limited these days. I'll try to update this frequently so keep checking back for more adventures in life, teaching, etc... 

My dad sent me this prayer today. It really spoke to me and seems fitting for where I am in my life right now, so I thought I'd share it as part of my first blog...you know, kick things off right:

May today there be peace within. 
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. 
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. 
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.  
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. 
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, 
dance, praise and love. 
It is there for each and every one of us.

-Prayer of St. Theresa

Time for bed...

I love that poem by Mother Theresa too Amanda...it seems perfect for so many different situations. Glad to hear things are generally going well. I miss having you in Saint Louis!
