"If your Bible is falling apart, chances are your life isn't"

One of my favorite quotes stated above. Well, life is different. I am here at TCC now, my family is stranya, and money is ochen tight. However, the over past few weeks I have been reminded of God's faithfulness . I have been praying for a job, as well as joy throughout this trial(s). God has blessed me through cat-sitting, and book selling. Between the two, I have made $400 in two weeks. Amazing. I should, better yet, we should never doubt Him. Father has also reminded me of a verse in Matthew (forgive me for not giving the exact verse), talking about God taking care of all the birds in the air, and I am worth far more than many sparrows. How much truth is in that scripture! Well, I think I may have a job now, its not 100% but I find out Monday, if I do well. I am beginning to see the amazingness of all of this. I am now a Sunday school teacher of toddlers, and I am meeting random people at places, and talking to people I haven't spoken to/seen since High school. I know God has a purpose for me here, and everything else going on in my life. I miss DBU and friends, but I can visit hopefully soon. Even though it seems lonely here at times, I talked to an old friend I am getting re- acquainted today, and he told me loneliness is something he prayed for, and its giving him a chance to spend more time in the word and with Father. I would have never thought to pray for that, but now I see the opportunities its bringing. I am getting excited about it. Thank you Father for everything, even if it seems hard, and its not what I had planned. Your plan is good and perfect, and not used for harm. (Romans 8:28). Your ways are higher than mine, and so are your thoughts (Isaiah 55). Thank you.

"Regan, your on probation from speaking"

So Life is busy, but Harosho (good). My Faith is being tested with all of this crazy school business. but God is working things out, not in my timing but His Timing, Not my Way but His ways. He also providing money for me in ways I would have never guessed, which is a blessing big time, and I have a job interview at school next week for an office position! yay! I am learning alot. As always. To recap Friday night, it was good fun. I love when Michelle, Regan, Evan and myself get together. We had to put Regan on speaking probation, specifically to the waiter at the Chinese restruant. Every time the waiter came around, Regan always said something inappropriate such as " Oh, I'm not eating here." or "I love Japanese food" We sang Disney in the car, and watched Johnny English at my house, and played many a round of peanut butter. I am going to miss those people. Regan is already in Utah, and Michelle will soon be n Wala Wala Washington. Evan will be close, so hopefully we will see each other every so often. Today was my last Sunday at FBC Keller for a while. I love that church. I am excited to return to Hillcrest again. I am so ready to move in this week. I saw a few friends when I went to DBU the other day, even though my main purpose was to turn in paperwork and say goodbye to Kara. I am very sad she is leaving, but I know we will keep in touch. I feel spiritually down today, but evening church was good. I love hearing Matt Pitts preach. On my way home, I saw one guy beating up his mailbox and a kid two yards down from him using a fishing pole in his grass. It made me laugh. This is kind of a boring post, with nothing exciting to say, or inspiring really...tomorrow is going to kill me busy. ..

Randomness: Some coconuts happened this week
I am still going through culture shock
God is providing
I miss my RAS sisters something terrible, and will hopefully have time for phone calls next week

P.S- does anyone know how to link other peoples blogs together??

I got it to work!

well my blog I made in Ukraine works! I'm not really sure how I figured it out...anyways, I am back in America. It is nice seeing friends and family, not sure how I feel about life starting up again so fast. I miss Ukraine so much already. The kids, the people, and my RAS sisters. I am so blessed to have had such a bond with them, that I have never had with anyone else before. You ladies, mean the world to me..i would not have survied the summer without you girls. Seeing Kids come to Christ this summer every week amazed me. Everytime God taught me something new or reminded me of something different from repentance night. I have learned so much this summer, about Ukraine, God, and myself. People keep asking me if I have changed, and I will answer them yes. I think for the better. Today, it felt so good to be back in church. i can't wait to go o bible study this week. We're learning how to be godly men and women for future relationships. I have never been in a relationship still. 19 years of singleness, I know God is preparing for soemthing! I was also reminded today it shouldn't matter what others think of me, only what God thinks. my thoughts are so random right now. oi. well i have much else to be doing so i will put in a better update later.
