The Great Wide West!!!

Hey man, I'm a country girl. I have lived in suburbia for almost all of my life and now I am leaving the burbs, moving 2000 miles away to live on the Navajo reservation in Arizona, an hour and a half from what I previously considered civilization (translation: the nearest Starbucks). Why on earth would I voluntarily do such a thing?!? Well, there is no reason on earth. Earthly things wouldn't motivate you to go somewhere like that to do something like teach Kindergarten for no pay. But I am motivated by a heavenly things. As with every one of us, I only have so much time on earth; most of my eternity will be spent in heaven. But the kids I teach and the people I come into contact with may not know where they will spend theirs. God uses each of us according to His plan and He has chosen to send me to Arizona. One day, I finally told Him I was willing to go where He wanted, so here I go.
