Don't worry, today's thought isn't as long as the first one. Today was a quality day. I worked at the YMCA and at Curves, which made for a long morning, but I don't mind. At CURVES I had my surprise of the day. A member came in and asked if my name was Katie. She said that she was my kindergarten teacher, and asked if I remembered her. I didn't remember her by looking at her, but come on, who forgets their kindergarten teacher. Mine was Mrs. Assion. It was such a joy that she remembered me. She worked for forty years as a teacher, I found out, and it was crazy that she had remembered me. Haha, I had asked her if I looked the same as I did at age 5, and was that how she remembered me. She said I looked the same, just a little mature-er... which is good, i guess! It's always a blessing when people remember you and bring it up, especially someone from long in the past.
So that was joy #1. I had a great time during the car ride with one of my favorite high school sophomores. She and I went to our churches Youth group and we got to talk the whole way there and back. Her family is one of my favorites and I was so encouraged to hear her heart about church, going to high school, and being the oldest of four children. She has such a good head on her shoulders and I love spending time with her!
And joy #3... talking with the lovely Kristin Chantel! I am ALWAYS encouraged by the heart of this girl. We talked for awhile about what God has done, is doing and will continue to do. She always helps me evaluate my life by the good example she sets! What a JOY it is to catch up with old friends!
It's getting scary to look at the calendar and see that my days at home are numbered before heading out into the scary world of Durham, NC. I'm not excited yet, but hopefully the anticipation will start to build and I'll be ready to move. Who knows... only time will tell. I just need to keep giving it up to HIM...
