Life in Kirkland


Well.. I have lived here almost 3 weeks and wow.. how the time flys!

I guess when I was looking at this summer, I figured.. how hard could caring for a 5 month old be? Well... I have quickly figured that out! DEMANDING!!!!
Charlie is really fun but at times freaks out when he is not being held... and man does it take a lot of patience! I am learning each day how long to let him cry and whine before i pick him up.

Kirkland has been nice but rainy! I don't think i would make it the entire winter with it raining all the time!!!! I need my sun!

I found a church to go to which has been incredible. It is called Overlake Christian Church and i love it! I am starting to go to the college group and have met some great people. Last night i went to the Saturday night service called Illuminate and realized that in my future, I have this feeling that I will be in some other part of the world working either in an orphanage or as a teacher... who knows.... but my heart breaks everytime I see those eyes of children who have no family and just need someone to love on them!

God has big plans for my life and it is so amazing just being quiet and listening to His still small voice:)

I am super jazzed because i get to come home in the end of june and my parents are going to be here in a couple of weeks. And my best friend Katie is going to come and see me in July!


If you could pray for me that would be great:

For patience with Charlie, for friends up here that I can hang out with, for finding quiet time outside the home, for giving the family enough space and finding enough space myself!

I love you all :) - shy
