This blog will contain my beliefs, adventures, challenges, and observations along lifes bumpy trails. My life is a mess and so therefore my blog can not simply cover one topic. This will be my place to vent what bothers me and what inspires me to be a better person. I feel that in order to do this I have to discuss a few "unique" things about my life. To begin with, I am a certified teacher in grades K-6. I finally graduated in May but much to my disappointment did not land an elementary school job. So the decision was made to work towards endorsements and to work towards completing a degree in English Language Learning through WGU. I am also contemplating the most direct path to completing as many additional endorsements as possible. I'd love to say I am highly motivated but the truth is that I want to actually work with kids and not simply continue to write papers about working with kids more effectively.
Other "interesting" facts are that my Husband of nearly five years, developed Guillian-Barre Syndrome, that literally overnight left him unable to walk, experiencing a loss of feeling from the waist down, and He was forced to step down from his roles as both an Assistant Pastor and a Worship Pastor at two separate churches. In the mist of this trauma, Tim felt a strong calling to start a church in one of the poorest areas of Warren County, where we live, to reach the people that other churches simply do not want. With this idea, Grace Community was created first in his mind and later as a reality with our first service starting last October. Tim can not play due to messed up shoulder and still can not stand but he can share with others what He is passionate about the love of Christ and grace. Since that time, we have been focused on outreach, church planting, prayer, and physical therapy. Not to mention, the many things I never thought about when it comes to trying to have a "normal" life while stuck in a wheelchair.
We also have been trying to add to our family since shortly after we got married. We struggle with infertility and even though we have many challenges we long to one day grow our family through adoption, infertiltiy treatments, and whatever else we need to do to grow our family. Life is complicated but anything worth doing is worth waiting and fighting for.So there you have it...my crazy life.
