Happy Wednesday Joy! Congrats on making it through your first year of teaching! And abroad at that, what an accomplishment! You're doing wonderful things, I can tell. :) I hope you have an amazing summer at home, and a fantastic time with your boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteToday I am celebrating life, the possibilities of the future, and being able to finally see some of the beautiful results from all of the growth I know God has been helping me through this past year. It will be a beautiful day.
Sweet friend, I miss you so much. Just know that I'm thinking about you and praying for you often!
