And the blogging begins

Well, I have now officially started blogging! I have debated for a while whether I would or not, but here I am! Basically, I want this blog to be a place to journal my upcoming adventures (and for those few people who want to come along for the ride). My hope is to share the joys as well as the challenges that are ahead. So what is this new peregrination you may ask!

I am moving to Memphis, TN in just over a month (gosh, I can't believe it is that soon!) to start graduate school to get my masters in urban education. I was accepted into the Memphis Teacher Residency (MTR - you should look it up online!). A group of 30 of us will be doing our grad school studies together and living together for a year. We will graduate with our masters after that year, and then we will commit to teaching 3 years in a Memphis urban school.

One of the greatest missions that God has given me is "to love the unloved and disadvantaged children." That has taken many forms over the past years, but this is the new adventure. There is such a HUGE need for good urban educators. And I see how perfectly God has laid the steps out for me to be in Memphis "for such a time as this." And for that I am truly humbled.

So the stories are about to come!
