Today I substituted at Ravenscroft School where I used to work before my new job. It was so great to see everyone again. I don't really miss the job, but I do miss the kids (most of them anyways). When I walked in, the kids (kindergarteners) swarmed around me like they were bees and I was a huge flower. They kept asking me where I've been and if I would stay forever. It's kind of difficult to tell them what my job is. I just tell them that work with women who are going to be moms. James said a lot of the kids told him that I was their favorite teacher (even though I don't work there anymore :-) ). I overheard one girl tell another "Mrs. Kendall is the awesomest!". Then after working with the kindergarteners, I got to go see my old kids, the 5th graders and middleschoolers. They squeezed me harder than the kindergarteners! They are so interested in what my new job is. They kept asking me questions about it and wanted to act like they were my clients. So we did a little role playing. They even stuffed pillows in their shirts and acted like they were coming to see me for an ultrasound :-) So, today put a big smile on my face to say the least!
Tommorrow I'll be speaking at St. Augustine's College in Raleigh. I will be going with our post abortion director to put a little plug in about Gateway. I am little nervous about speaking, but I know God will use me!

That's great you had a chance to see your old kids. Did any of them ask you where babies come from :) ?? I hope you do an awesome job on your speech tomorrow!
Let us know how your speech goes. It's so awesome to reach out to girls at these critical times. I know you are doing a great job!
