Waiting on the world to change

Wow. I can't believe I went a whole month without blogging.

Student teaching is going well, but as the semester comes closer to an end, I become more nervous about the prospect of a job. For those of you who don't know, the state of Texas is laying off and/or freezing a lot of jobs. Therefore, there won't be many districts that will be hiring for the next school year. Teaven and I are still anxiously awaiting any word from Russia. We are really praying that God places us here, but we understand that this may not be his will. We have been looking into other possibilities of what we can do and where we can go given we do not get accepted to teach in Russia. It's stressful knowing that both of us need to find jobs in the area, stressful not knowing where we will go or what we will be doing, stressful knowing jobs will be even harder to come by. Yet, through it all we have peace. Peace in knowing that God's will trumps ours, and he is ALWAYS faithful. We have seen over and over again how he provides for those who trust him, and in this time, that's all we can do.

These past couple of months it's been so interesting to see how our relationship has changed. We're starting to work as a team as we prepare for marriage. We spend as much time together as possible, which is little but rewarding. And I can tell you, June 18 cannot come soon enough! Only a few months left! Two people who everyone said would never work out will marry each other and prove the world wrong! God is bigger than any plans we may have, and that is so evident to us!

I will try to update more. I feel like there is so much I could say, but this would go on for ages. I am excited about March because it is full of so many wonderful things!
