Well, I am back in Colorado and happy to say that it isn't too cold so that wasn't too much of a shock for my body, but coming back has been rough. Work has been hard this year and every day my patience is tested beyond what it is able. Most days I want to just quit and give up, but I know that I can't. I know that I have to push through and I have to strive to maintain a good atttidue despite the circumstances. That is easier said then done, and so far, I haven't done a very good job about it.
It would have been much more fun to just stay in California, and forget about work and just be a beach bum. Unforunatly, one can only do that for so long before the funds run out. But I have to admit that I thought about it once or twice. I could just take my tent, camp out and peanut butter and jelly for a while. And just be able to sit. To not be stressed out everyday, to not feel grouchy at the end of the day.
But that is a dream world, and I have to work, and right now that work is teaching Kindergarten. So I need to buck up, change my attitude and push through.
I'll still dream about the beach though!
Red dirt is everywhere in Sierra Leone. It covers your house, your clothes, and especially the bottom of your feet. My feet have walked the dusty red streets of Sierra Leone and I will never be the same again.

Oh Sarah. I hear you, sister. Surely the Lord is doing something we can't see...and this year is, for both of us, achieving "an eternal glory" that far outweighs the exhaustion and frustration.
I love you! Hang in there! If it helps, I often think that you must be one of the greatest teachers ever.
