Tortilla Soup
I love this movie.
Michael and I watched it on Friday night. I think the first time I watched it might have been when I was bedridden a few years ago after having my wisdom teeth removed. I know, some of it may be a bit cheesy, but sometimes, cheesy is good. Watching it inspired me to attempt to make our home more open, airy, and inviting.
So, Saturday, when we went to WalMart to grocery shop, we also bought long, white curtains for the living room. They're great. They reflect the sun from outside which, in turn, seems to make the living room brighter and airy. I love it. Now I just have to come across another spare bit of money so that I can do the same to the windows in the bedroom.
In the meantime, I'd like to downsize the bed so that it's not quite so bulky in our current bedroom and try to figure out if there is a way to create a space-efficient hammock stand. Andy's apartment (from the movie) inspired me.
I figure, as long as we are still here, I might as well do all I can to make this house comfortable and inviting. Then, whenever we do move, we'll have all the right things to do the same in our next house!
I think I might also try making some tortilla soup in the Crock Pot tomorrow if I can get a few of the ingredients that I don't have.

Forever
I've been thinking about forever a bit lately.
Forever. That's a long time.
With all of the natural disasters that have been happening lately, I have heard the end of the world used as a possible explanation for it all.
Earthquake in Haiti.
Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan.
Earthquakes in other parts of Asia.
Deadly Tornadoes throughout the Southeast United States.
In addition there are wars in many parts of the world.
Here is what Jesus has to say about all of this in Matthew 24:3-14:
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
Perhaps we are in the beginning of birth pains; however, one doesn't know when the end will come. It could still be years from now. Or, it might not be.
In any case, it makes me hurt for those who don't know Christ. Those who, if the world ended tomorrow, would not spend forever in Heaven. I hope that there is time to welcome so many more into the Kingdom of God.
Yesterday, when I woke up to NPR (it's the alarm), I heard them talking about the fact that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. As I was getting ready that morning, I began to think about how one ought to respond to such a thing (they were also talking about this on Big Fish Radio). Yes, he did horrible things. But you know what?
So did Saul (of Tarsus).
Saul persecuted the church. He sought out Christians in order to arrest them.
Then, he encountered Christ and was saved. Saul changed his name to Paul and, during the rest of his life, spread the Gospel throughout the world.
I know it's too late now, but what if Osama Bin Laden had come to Christ? That obviously wasn't in God's plan, but what if? That conversion just might have flipped the Muslim world upside down.
However, what did happen is this terrorist was killed. And now he is in Hell. For forever.
This is not something to rejoice in. It's simply reality.
The thing is, many so-called "innocent" people who were killed by Bin Laden's schemes are also in Hell. For forever. Because they didn't know Christ.
The same Jesus who was crucified, died, was buried, and who rose from the dead three days later for me, also did all of those things for terrorists, kings, queens, teachers, military personnel.... everyone.
Everyone has sinned in some form or fashion. Whether by thoughts or actions, murdering or lying, etc. However, Christ died for the world. God can save someone no matter their religious past, their ethnic background, familial background, or their past sins. If someone simply acknowledges Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and believes that He died and rose again from the dead, that person can be assured of spending forever in Heaven.
This message has to get out. The end of the world is coming and we might not have much time to reach the world.

Thoughts
It's a beautiful spring morning. My back door is open along with many windows in the house. A fan is on the next room and the birds are singing outside. And, it's spring break.
I love this time of year.
This morning I watched an episode of Destinos - a tv show created to teach Spanish. I am determined. Michael has been listening to a Spanish teaching podcast while he drives around at work in order to also learn the language. He's much more gifted linguistically than I am so he's been plowing through the lessons on the podcast and sends me text messages in Spanish that I can't quite always decipher on my own. But this way he can teach me, right?
As far as Texas goes, the response I got from my post was pretty divided. Some people were excited for us, others were hesitant. So let me explain a bit more:
This isn't something that we are doing to run away from where we are now and it's not something that we are going to make happen if God shuts the door. It's simply something that we have given to God and have been praying about. We've prayed and asked God to shut the door if we are not supposed to go this way; however, until then, we're moving forward. Yes, we may have thousands and thousands of dollars in student loans but we know that God is bigger than that and we are trusting Him with this step and our finances. (And, thankfully, more loans would not be involved in this certification process!)
It could be that Michael starts the certification process next month but that we don't move for another year. We don't know. But God does. So we pray. We wait. And we trust Him.
God has given us ministry and friends right here and for that, we are thankful. So we will do all that we can while we are here - with those He has here with us. We are not looking to neglect the ministry that we have now. Ministry is everywhere which is why we need our Heavenly Father to direct our steps to where we can be most used.
We would appreciate any and all prayers as we seek to figure out God's next step for us!

Nostalgic Morning
Today, I woke up early and went outside to switch the laundry.
It wasn't 7:00am yet and it was beautiful out. I was taken back to Honduras in my mind. The mornings that are cool and warm at the same time. Hearing the birds wake. The sun not quite risen. The only thing missing were roosters. Well, and everything else. Man, I miss that place.

Life
I know, it's been a while.
These thoughts and ideas that I'm about to share have been bouncing around between Michael and me for, oh I don't know, a little over a month now or so. I guess I'll start at the beginning.
The summer that I graduated from high school, I went on a missions trip to Honduras. It was life changing. Before I went, my plan was to go to East Carolina and study graphic design; however, I had not gotten accepted because of a Spanish class that they said I need to take (I was homeschooled, so I had taken Spanish 1 at home and Spanish 1 at the community college - they said I needed a Spanish 2). So I guess my plan was to take an intensive Spanish course that summer, get things squared away with ECU and head there in the fall. But then I went to Honduras.
I fell in love with the place, with the people, and my heart broke for them. I knew why I needed to take the Spanish course. (not that I would necessarily learn Spanish in an intense, online class, but it was a sign if nothing else) I knew that graphic design was out. Loving people, helping people, this was my calling. I didn't even want to take the time to go to college because I just wanted to get back. But, alas, a college degree was a better idea than not, so, after finding out about Columbia International University that summer, I applied and went!
I spent 3 years in Columbia, met my husband - who has the same heart for people as I do - graduated, got married, and here we are. Adjusting to married life, paying bills, and learning what God is teaching us and how He wants to use us and our passions.
Several weeks ago, Michael and I got on an immigration documentary and movie kick.
We watched Entre Nos which is an interesting movie about a Colombian family of four who came to the United States and were living in NYC when the father decided he didn't want to be involved with his family anymore and left them. He moved to Florida and left his wife and two children to struggle for money, food, and a place to sleep.
We also watched The Other Side of Immigration which is a documentary about the reasons why people are coming from Mexico to the United States. It gets to the heart of the issue of immigration.
Another documentary that we watched was Which Way Home which is a great film that follows various people coming to the United States. It follows 4 boys in particular, their reason for coming, and their struggles along the way. It's a very eye-opening film.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489342/
Lastly (these are not listed in the order we watched them - but in reverse order actually, I think), Amexicano was another film we watched. It's a movie about a guy who lives in NY and befriends an illegal immigrant and his sister. It's a good one.
Anyway, all this to say (other than recommending that you watch these movies - they are instant on Netflix!), it got the wheels turning in my mind. I want to help people who are coming to the US because they need help. Our country is missing it. There are reasons why people come to the United States and it's not necessarily because they want to be here. It's because they have to be in order to survive. A wall along the border of the United States is not the answer. By putting up a wall the US is just ignoring the problems in these other countries and refusing to help people who need our help. It's saying, "We don't care if you're hurting. We don't care if you've just risked your life to get here in order to feed your family. Stay out. We don't want to help you."
Oh, it breaks my heart. Which is why Michael and I may be moving. I don't think Texas was ever very high on my list of places where I would want to live; however, now it's pretty close to the top. We're thinking that's a God thing. We have looked into teaching certification in Texas and it's pretty straightforward. Michael can take the classes for certification online while we are still living here and we won't have to move until he gets a job. He has applied for the certification program, has been accepted, and can start taking the courses as soon as we pay the cost to get going!
We have gone through a bit of back and forth with this idea - wanting it to be God's plan for us but wanting to be sure. Now we notice every Texas license plate and often say that "it's a sign!" Partly jokingly, of course.
Well. A few days ago when Michael was driving at work, there was a bumper sticker on the car in front of him. What do you think it said?
GO TO TEXAS
What?!?!
I'll take that. Of course, he got closer and saw fine print at the top that said, "my money and my son...... Go to Texas." Nevertheless, that wasn't the bigger, bolder print that made itself clearly visible.
Thank you, God, for that sign.
So, we're moving forward! Not sure when exactly everything is going to happen. We're just taking it a step at a time trusting God to keep guiding us.

Opportunities
God's been opening doors left and right. Now, it seems, we just need some to shut so we know what ones to go through.
Michael interviewed, as was mentioned in the previous post, so now we are waiting to hear from that. The interview went well, she asked him for references. And now we wait.
A tutoring opportunity has come up in the area and if either of us wants that job, we have to speak up by the end of the week.
We went to an AMIA conference this past weekend where we learned of another opportunity that we have teaching abroad. If God has this planned for us, I think we could leave as early as this summer.
That evening (after learning of the opportunity to teach abroad), it was told to Michael, from a lady not knowing about this possibility said that God would tell us "when." Bam. God will tell us when to go. We just have to seek Him in all of this.
I'm trying to keep my mind from thinking too much because I have a tendency to think about how things would work out perfectly and then handle them too much to where my will doesn't exactly line up with God's will anymore.
So I'm trying to stay out of it.
God, take these opportunities and do as you please.
It's exciting to suddenly have these opportunities flying around. God has been so good to us. He has been so faithful.
My best friend is flying to Korea tomorrow. She will be there, teaching ESL, for a year. I could be jealous. As, I will admit, I have been of various friends who have gone overseas during the course of this last year. However, God has given me peace and acceptance. Yes, I would love to be one of the ones traveling to Asia one of these days. But today, I am here and I am happy for my friend. I will miss her but she has such an exciting year ahead of her and I'm glad that God has guided her to this point of total trust in Him. Of trust enough to go to the other side of the world and live a life of adventure through Him.
And who knows, maybe we'll be over there before the year is out.

Past Due
It's been a long time.
I guess that's what happens when you get wrapped up in planning lessons, cleaning your house, spending too much time on facebook, and whatever else I've been doing rather than blogging.
Even so, life has been taking interesting and exciting turns lately.
After fighting God about our plans vs. His plans since probably-the-day-we-got-back-from-our-honeymoon, we are finally okay with where we are. With where He has us.
Yes, we live in a so-called retirement town. Yes, we can likely count the people on one hand that we have met who are in their early to mid-twenties in the almost 8 months that we've been married and living here. Yes, the layout of our house is rather odd (being that you have to walk through our bedroom, as you would a hallway, in order to get from our living room to the kitchen or the bathroom). Yes, we spend many evenings eating dinner while watching tv shows on netflix because we don't have friends that we can call up to come over and eat with us and hang out for the evening. No, we aren't making tons of money. Yes, we have a lot of student loans hanging over us. Yes, we've had to work some pretty lame jobs since we've been here. Yes, we've been through some intensely difficult times since we've been here.
But you know what? God has brought us here. He has given us all that we have. He has been our source of strength. He has surrounded us with the right people at the right time. He has provided just the right jobs in the right time. And now, He has brought us both to a place of peace and rest with where we are.
No, this might not be the place that most newlyweds in their early twenties would pick to move. There is zero to no nightlife here. Shopping is minimum (though we do have a TJ Maxx and there will be a Michael's opening soon). But God brought us here and He is opening doors for us to minister in ways that we do so desire to minister. He has given us both a spirit of contentedness that we were both missing since we moved here. We now have rest. Finally.
Something happens when you let go of selfishness. Pride. Lies. Your own plans and ideas. It's so interesting that the one thing you must do in order to obtain rest, peace, freedom, and joy is to let go of everything that you think you want and need. That is such the opposite of what is en-grained in us as Americans (or perhaps people anywhere, though I can only speak as an American). In America, we have freedom because we can do what we want, when we want, the way we want. However, with Christ, this is totally backwards. We gain freedom by surrender. This is not necessarily freedom to do whatever we want, but freedom from the world's ideas that we must be perfect, not mess up, make lots of money, and "be successful" in order to be happy.
Oh, if the world were right, what a miserable place to live this would be! To feel as though to be free is to do what you want when you want. To feel as though you are not allowed to make a mistake. To feel as though success is measured by the amount of money you make or the job you have.
As it is in Christ, and as Michael and I have finally come to grasp, we are free, at peace, and able to rest because we know that, no matter where we are living, how much money we have, whether or not we have any peer friends, whether or not we have enjoyable jobs, God is taking care of us. He has provided all that we have and all that we need and He will continue to do so. He knows our passions and desires and He will provide us with opportunities to put them into practice when the timing is right.
We have decided that we don't want our lives to be "safe." We may never own a house. We may never have lots of money. There may even be times where it doesn't seem like we have "enough" money. People will probably look at us like we're crazy but as long as we are able to live lives that are sold out for Christ, helping people in need and using our God-given passions and desires to do so, our lives will have been worth it.
If you want proof about God's provision, we have that too. Michael and I have both had to work difficult jobs since we've been here that we have not exactly enjoyed; however, God provided me with a job teaching ESL part-time. This is what I have certification in and this is something that I have loved doing. It was just a matter of waiting for the right time for God to bless me with this job.
Michael has a job interview on Wednesday for a job that he would, seemingly, enjoy as well. The job came to us via email rather than us looking for it. We're praying that if God wants Michael to have this job, it would be offered to him. Otherwise, we don't want the offer.
Also, there is a guy moving here for a few months (at least) at the end of this week. He is Michael's age. And a believer. Potential friend. BAM.
God's just been giving to us right and left. It's so exciting. Who would have thought that living in a retirement town could be very exciting?

Sick
I am at home sick. I think it's just a bad cold but man, it's been kind of brutal. Sleeping last night was rough. I saw way more hours on my clock in the middle of the night than I wanted to. My cheekbones have been hurting off and on and a large portion of the time I feel as though I'm drowning due to, you know, sinus flow. But maybe that's TMI.
Anyway, that's what's up with me today. And yesterday. And the later part of Sunday even.
On a lighter note, my February issue of Country Living arrived in the mail yesterday and now I am inspired, yet again, to decorate the house in primarily white tones. I love it. Everything looks so fresh and light and airy in white. Maybe once I am well and I have some sort of routine to my life again, I will purchase some paint and start on the end table that we bought second hand around Thanksgiving. Our couch is already white so that won't be a problem.
This is going to have to be a photo-less post because the power cord on my computer decided to stop working a few days ago and I'm not sure how to get photos on this Mac or if I even can. I'm not positive where the cord is for my phone and I can't just use my memory card so, photos will have to wait. But one of these days I do want to post pictures of some of the great things that I got for Christmas. You know, a materialistic post.
