Amazing

My memory is very photographic. What I remember I can vividly see. Today, I was thinking back to my time in Alaska January of last year. I was visiting one of my most precious friends whom I went to Uganda with. She was finishing up college at the time so some days I was alone for a a few hours while she was in school. This also a few days after the time that I found out that I had been accepted into TFA. I remember one morning falling to my knees and praying so hard for the children that I did not yet know but already love. I remember praying that they would learn, yes. But more importantly, I remember praying that they would come to know the love of God.

When I think back to that time and look at my life now, I am just in awe. I am 23 years-old. I didn't study education but my children have grown 1.5 years in reading in four months. I have never kissed a guy, but I am raising a child. And I not a missionary, in the strictest sense, but my little girl now knows the Lord. Coincidance, I think not. My life is living proof that God chooses the foolish of the world to shame the wise, the weak, to shame the strong. There really have been some hard times, but God has really seen me through them all. I am simply amazed by Him.
