Grace Grace God's Grace

Do you ever have those moments when you realize just how yucky of a person you are? I mean, if you've accepted Christ as your savior then you are an admitted sinner but geeeeeezzz some days its even more blatantly obvious. Today while driving back to school, Bradley and I stopped at Bojangles to grab some lunch. The drive-up window was backed all the way to the entrance of the parking lot. We decided to go in. The line was just as crazy long inside. We realized the people working still had not gotten the hang of what they were doing:) after waiting 20 minutes...we finally got our food. Backing out of my parking space was special...the line for the drive-up window was sooo long my car was blocked in. FINALLY we make it back to the highway. I take out my biscuit and it is wrong... that was it...i was done...the attitude came bursting out...the p word that rhymes with hissed made its way out of my mouth...Bradley sweetly offers me his food and i reject it! I'm so mad i could feel that lump in my throat like im about to cry...OVER FOOD. REALLY? i mean people are starving..and im missing cheese and you would think the world is ending. well...the Lord spoke to me on the ride on...i was reminded of his amazing love for me. I am such a selfish spoiled person but he still loved me to send his son to take the weight of my sin on his shoulders so that I could have a relationship with almighty God. WOW Is that not AWESOME!!! The whole world needs to hear this message...when was the last time you shared this good news with someone new?

fiesta in my mouth!

lLast night I decided to make Charity's empanadas!!! They were amazing!!!! My picture looks a little gross because I kinda forgot to take the picture before I started eating..oooppss! They were yummy and it was easy enough for me to take..im challenged in the cooking area!

The Penguin!

Saturday night, Bradley took me out to dinner to the Penguin. I posted on this place last year! It was on the Food Network! It has really good burgers and fried pickles! We had to wait over an hour though because it is so popular! We thought that if we got there at five we would beat the rush..not so...owell! it was still great!

Back to Middle School!!!!

This year I'm working at Northridge Middle School. It has been pretty awesome so far. I LOVE the students!! They are bright and sweet and have a desire to make something of their lives. I can't wait to give them my best this year. I am truly learning how I can glorify the Lord through teaching. Each day in school is an opportunity to show the love of Christ to middle school students going through huge changes in their lives. I pray that I will make a difference this year!
