So Much Paper

I have finally finished writing, printing, stuffing, and stamping support letters! Watch your mailboxes, friends...you may have something from me. My brain has been unable to focus fully on anything else until the letters were done. It will be nice to be able to have conversations again!  

Yesterday I substitute taught 4th graders at Chapel Hill Academy. 4th grade can be challenging, but these kids were awesome! They did just about everything the first time I asked, and at one point in the day they had quiet work time for almost 45 minutes. Typically, that would be a disaster waiting to happen, but with this classroom it was fine! It was almost too easy. More days like that, and subbing might lose it's challenging mystique. 

I'm Back

Well Friends, after more than a year away from blogging I have finally returned. I stopped after traveling the summer of 2006, and just waited until I felt like I had something to say again. Clearly it takes a long time for thoughts to build up in my head!  :)  I have mainly started this blog to keep people updated on my recently acquired job. That's right everyone, Coley is finally working. Well, kinda. 

Just last week I accepted the position of Women's Ministry Associate for Antioch Initiative. The Anitioch Initiative is a project of the Evangelical Free Church aimed at finding and training young leaders in ministry, and giving them skills to make more leaders. I get to have coffee with young women, find out what they are passionate about, and help them get there! It might possibly be the best job in the world. 

In the next few days I will be sending out support letters (this is not a job that the EFCA can support on thier own) to raise money for my budget and compensation. If you would like me to send you one, send me your mailing address and I would love to get it to you! 

I plan on posting here how things are going and fun stories about what the Lord is doing. Keep checking back!
