What's been going on?!

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ... Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.
Colossians 4: 2-3

It has been a while since my last post and so I thought today was a perfect day to change that! Since my last post, SO much has happened. I mailed out my Zambia newsletters and have gotten a wonderful response with many people willing to pray for me and our team. I couldn't be more thankful to have people praying for God's will as our team prepares to head to Africa this June. If you didn't get a newsletter and would like one, please send me an email or message and I'll gladly get one to you. Our team has begun to meet weekly and we have a tentative itinerary for what we will do while we are in Zambia. Our major fundraiser plans are coming together and I can't wait to share with you what we will be doing. More info to come soon...

Morgan Family Update:
Our little man, Carson, will be TWO next Thursday! Where has the time gone? He is such a fun kiddo. We love to watch him dance and listen to him tell stories. He is such a chatter box. His favorite thing to do right now is play with his big brother (Austin). He adores him and Austin is so good at loving on him! We are blessed to have two wonderful, healthy boys that love each other unconditionally. Austin is doing great in first grade and is having a great time playing basketball. His team is young, and they haven't won any games yet, but they are learning so much and getting the hang of things. As for me and graduate school, there have been many changes in the last month... After reflecting on my first semester of grad school I decided that school counseling is where my passion was. So, over Christmas break I did some research and found that the state of Texas requires you to have a minimum of 3 years of classroom teaching experience before you are eligible for a school counseling position. I am currently working on my teaching certification and will finish up just in time to apply for jobs in April. I hope to be a full time teacher this next school year so by the time I finish up my graduate degree, I'll be qualified for school counseling!

So in a nutshell, that's what has been going on here. God is doing amazing things in and around us right now and I'm super excited to see where He leads us throughout the preparation for Africa this summer. Even though Jeremy and the boys are staying state-side, they are very much a part of this mission! I can't wait to report back with what's going on....
