Coming Back...

Coming back from Italy was a little weird. Italy was amazing and a wonderful break, but I felt like I should be flying back home. Its a little hard at this point, Im feeling like I am on the home stretch, I really only have a couple months left and a few days, and so far all of this has been going so quickly. Its hard to the fact I am trying to keep my mind here and not worry about the things that are going to be at my door when I come back. I keep having to give God back those things that are on my mind, and I know hes got them taken care of.

Since the kids have started school my schedule is a little diffrent, I am finding that there are alot more emotions when they get home from school then when they used to spend the whole morning with me. It has been a challange on my part to have to really figure out how they are feeling and how I am able to help so they can get out those feelings or whatever that have been bottled up through the day. I am teaching them basic card games and we are spending lots of time on that, Im excited also for the weather to be changing cuz we will be able to go outside more. I had the feeling that I am really going to miss them when I am gone, but temp mom said that they will miss me all the more.
This Journey has been God led, and he is still working in my life to show me so many things while I am here. I know that he has plans for me when I return, but right now I am trying my hardest to think of all the things day to day. Praise Him for all He has done and is still doing!

soon return,
Hil

Dialogue

When my roommate is talking to her boyfriend on skype with the head phones in, I like to talk to her even though shes responding to her boyfriend and not me. lol just a little something that gets me through the day. So I was starting friday and have been fighting something for these couple days. Prayer because it seeems like I keep getting sick, I dont remember the last day I felt 100% better.
My new roommate is pretty great as well, she comes from a family of 10. 8 kids, 7 boys and shes the only girl :D its crazy! its nice to have another person in the house to chat with and show around this city. wednesday I go to Italy! Im pretty excited for a couple days of adventure.
Umm, less then 3 months and im home... thats kinda crazy...

God Update: How im really doing!
Since I got here I haven been going through diffrent books of the bible. went through Romans, 1 Corninthians, and now Acts. (im going through 1 corinthians still with a friend) I wake up most mornings (unless I skype) but after that normally an hour before work I sit at the window looking over our street and read my bible. God has been showing me alot in this time, and other times that im in the word, I have already finished one of my journals I started before I lefft and now im on to another one. I am not a good enough writer to paint words of the heart change thats been going on. Maybe its not my heart changing but God just going in and replacing my heart with a brand new one. A new heart that is built on God fondation, and is strong in him! :) there have been hard times here for sure, but God is good and im filled with his love! awww I cant explain it!!! :) G2G! Glory to God!!! gunna go worship him while I clean!
Love ya all!!

Its life

Pretty much. I have come to the conclusion that I have adjusted fully (at least adjusted to living here), and that there seems to be nothing new to write about because its life. I wake up, go to work, come home from work, rest, back to work, home and whatever party me and my roomies have... that could be just sitting on our lappy toppys.
Its hard to find things to write about when its just normal ever day stuff.
I got my hair cut... its pretty short. (lol maybe not everyday stuff, but normal life stuff)
I am going to be nannying for another family since I have two morning off I wanted to bless others with my time... sooo I guess thats new :) and very exciting! Its going to be a change up in my normal day.
Also the kids have started school, so three mornings a week I am only watching one kid. :) thats new...
Getting a new roomie, shes a nanny :D she comes... tomorrow!! WOOT WOOT!!!
well, thats all fokes! guess there are some new things

:)
