Keller, TX

As of right now, I have been living in Keller for 28 days. It was a quick move, and I only had to pack clothes and cosmetic stuff, because I am living at someone's house. Not just anyone, but a family that loves God, each other, and everyone they are around. Jimmy & Priscilla (Parents of the house) use to be Jearen's youth pastors back in the day, and are still very much a part of Jearen's life. They are now pastoring Real Church, a church plant I have mentioned on facebook a lot. The church is in Keller, and is running out of a dance studio. We have only had one service so far, and are having another one March 14th, but our LAUNCH SERVICE will be EASTER SUNDAY!! Jearen and I are on the Leadership Team for Real Church, and have gotten to see God's blessings all over this church! We can't wait to see all that will happen and see God love on the people of Keller. So back to my new living arrangements. The reason I live with Jimmy & Priscilla is because I got a job at the Early Child Development Center for the Grapevine/Colleyville District. I started off as a floater, going from infant room, to toddlers, to two year olds, and pre school kiddos, but now I am Priscilla's assistant caregiver (official title as my badge says) in the Pre-K room. I NEVER would have thought I would be a Pre-K teacher, but I am loving it!! Eventually, my dream job would be a speech or a radio/tv/film class for highschool, but for right now, I know Pre-K is where God's placed me, and I'm happy with that! Those kids are so funny! And I LOVE that they have nap times! The drive to work is about 30 minutes, but it's great and doesn't feel very long when I'm driving. Another thing, I started off on a futon upstairs in the playroom, but now I share a room with Lacie, who also lives here/works at the ECDC/and is helping with the church. I love having American Idol nights Tuesday & Wednesday with the fam, then ladies bible study Thursday nights. My weekends are usually packed with Church Meetings and whatnot, but I enjoy it. I get to be around an awesome team, my fiance, and grow a bigger heart for Keller and the people in it!! This season in my life is just what I needed, and it is definitely challenging and is helping me grow!

On a side note, since being here, I have had some type of sickness- with my nose & throat, got an eye infection today, and thought I was dying like 3 or 4 times. But all is well! Haha. Seriously though, a verse that I remind myself of is Habbakkuk 3:17-19. Read it and enjoy! :)
