Nothing at All

My Class

My three violinists

This is my nothing at all blog. The last few weeks I have been getting back into the swing of things since coming back from Christmas break. I will say that I do stay busy. Sometimes I wonder if I have to much responsibility. If that is possible. I do want to stay busy doing what God has called me to do. I love working with children and especially teaching violin. Right now I have three little girls that are 6 years old. They are doing a fantastic job. I am excited about how fast they learn. Children soak up so much information and learn so quickly. I am thankful that they are forgiving as well. As long as you show them love they return the favor. Sometimes I wish I could take some of them home with me and show them the true meaning of family. Some of them have messed up lives and my heart just aches for them. I just wonder why God allows some people to have children. I guess he knows what he is doing. Just wish I knew what he was doing. All in good time I suppose. I just want to stay close to him. I never want to take one breath without him. He is my everything!

Stingray City

I have lived in Cayman almost three years and this is the first that I have had the opportunity to go to Stingray City. It is located about 30 minutes off the main island. It also known as the sand bar. There is a reef that surrounds the island and the sand bar is located right before you get to the reef. On the sand bar there are over 100 stingrays. Most of them are pretty tame. The female are the biggest and the male is about the size of a dinner plate. You are able to get out of your boat and swim with the stingrays. At first I was a little nervous because they swim right around your legs and I didn't want to step on them. Once I started touching them I was no longer afraid. I got to hold one of the females. She was huge and weighed a ton. Before we left I had a chance to hold a baby female and she stayed with me for the longest time. If you feel underneath them they are as smooth as baby's skin. I thought I would share my stingray experience with you. I hope you enjoy it. I also snuck a picture of a Cayman sunset.

My first full week back in Cayman is just about over. It has been a long one that is for sure. We are in revival with Rev. Steve Clemens. We have had chapel services every day except on Monday. The students are getting quit restless. It is very difficult for 5 and 6 year olds to sit for an hour and a half. I have decided not to pester them about being still during service. It makes for a rough day when they start the morning sitting for so long. With that in mind, I have kept their work load to a minimum so the teacher can stay sane. They all seemed eager to come back and tell me about their Christmas. I think I even missed the students a little. It was nice to get back to the normal schedule. I love having the time off but usually I can't wait to get back to being busy again. I hardly know what to do with myself when I am not working.

The weather is just about perfect this time of year. The temperature is between 75 and 80 with a nice cool breeze to keep it cool. Perfect weather to sit outside and enjoy the sun on my face. I can sit outside without sweating to death. So I will hopefully get to enjoy many long walks along the beach in the next few weeks.
