rrprayerupdate

Hey everyone~

It's been quite a while since I've seen/talked to a lot of you guys.

Hope everyone is doing well. Just a little update on what I've been up to/ happening :

1. I finished my second year of teaching middle school math here in California.

2. Going to Korea for the entire summer (2 months)

3. Moving up north in September- going to start my 1 year Masters program @ Stanford.

Well, I'll be going through another transition in my life this fall. I'm really excited yet scared.

I need prayers in these specific areas.

1. I need to find a good church where I can grow spiritually & serve. I want to find a church where I have

accountability and good sisters in Christ. Also, a church that will challenge me and make me come out

of my comfort zone.

2. Academics: I will be studying International Comparative Education. What is that? I don't know- but I'm focusing on

empowering Muslim women education. Why? Long story short- God has given me a heart for Muslim women..and

I believe that He has opened this amazing opportunity for me. I really want to make the most of this opportunity.

Please pray that I may be diligent and a good student. Also, pray that I may meet good friends in my program.

3. Spouse: My parents have been bugging me about this matter for a while- but I also feel the need to pray a lot for this.

Please pray that I may find a man of God and that also has the same heart as me.

Ok, thanks a lot guys- miss you all a lot. God bless :)

hello r&r,

there's just been a lot of ups and downs this year and that's translated to a lot of ups and downs in my relationship with God. i feel like i'm slowly crawling out of a down time, but i'm still really confused and know there are a lot of issues that i need to resolve with God. but i can honestly say that God has continued to remind me through all of this that he has me. and i cannot tell you how thankful i am for that. so as he reminds me of all that he's done for me so far and as he reminds me of how good it is to be right with God, he's slowly drawing me back into an active relationship with him. i REALLY need some quality alone time with God. i've been going to a lot of bible studies lately--one with my woman's group and one with my college group--and they've been so good for me, but each one only deepens my conviction that i need my personal time to reconnect with God. i know it's so simple, but so hard to do. so this week i've committed to waking up early so i can spend some time with God before i go to work. could you just pray that these times happen? i really just want to love God again, and for that to happen i need some quality time. so please pray for these times, that i would be open to hearing what he wants to say to me and that i would be willing to obey. you all know i'm rebellious, so please pray for this rebellious heart of mine--and that i would just fall in love with God all over again.

miss you all,
