A State Side Jambo

It's been a year... a year since I felt the fullest I have ever felt. I was teaching in a school where students rose and greeted me every morning with "Good morning Teacher" and the biggest smiles imaginable. I was covered in dust, hot, and living every day for the glory of God.

Now.

Now I am teaching in a fifth grade classroom in Spokane. Every morning I am greeted by 26 smiling faces and "Good morning Ms. Sexton." I am clean, happy, planning lessons left and right, and relying on the luxuries America has to offer. I am still living every day to use the gifts God has graced me with.

Many people have asked me what I feel about graduating in three months. I am pumped!! I look forward to finding new fun ways to teach my crazy loud 5th graders, balancing 19 credits, and building relationships that will last past graduation. Although, I want to have everything planned out (as some of my classmates do) I am having to practice patience as I don't know where God is taking me next year. I am opening up as many doors as possible to get back to Tanzania, but also looking state side. I am praying that God builds the brick walls to lead me to what He wants me to do.

Well, that's about all this little hello is about. :)
