je ne sais pas

Je Ne Sais Pas –

A lot of you keep asking “When do you leave?” And I really don’t know. It is a process and all I can really do right now is wait in the process. I am scheduled to arrive August 10, 2017 and that can still happen. I don’t know when I’m leaving so I am just enjoying my time with friends and family.

3 Weeks!

We are 3 weeks away from my scheduled departure date.

It has been a crazy time with Z-Visa paperwork (which I still don’t have by the way).

I completed everything that I could possible do on my end here in these Ole’ United States of America. Paperwork has been notarized, certified, and authenticated. I have sent it to HR in China and I am currently waiting on an ‘Invitation Letter’ (which comes from China) so that I can apply for my Z-Visa. Everything has led up to this. Once I receive my Invitation Letter I can apply for my Z-Visa. Once I have that I can get my ticket for Shanghai. It is closer than I think.

 

I am waiting.

 

 

wait·ing

 

Noun 1.

the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or until something else happens.

 

During this waiting period I am working. This week I am on a week long college/museum tour with a great group of high school students on the East Coast.

So far this week we have been to:

Cheyney University

Howard University

Morgan State University

US Naval Academy- Annapolis

White House Tour

Capitol/Library of Congress Tour

National Mall

National Museum of African American History and Culture

Tomorrow-

Arlington National Cemetary

Marymount University

Mt. Vernon (George Washington’s Home)

Saturday-

Great Blacks in Wax Museum

Baltimore Inner Harbor

Travel home to Dallas

 

As you can see it has been a full week! Full of first time flights for students, new states, new cities, lots of information, lots of walking, lots of heat and sweat! I am always so thankful for these summer experiences with my students. I am really thankful that I was able to visit NMAAHC.

That was definitely an emotional experience that everyone should enjoy!

 

My summer has been busy, but excellent. Enjoying my time at home with friends and with family. I will be working up until it is time for me to leave. So many things I will miss about home, but I am looking forward to this new experience of living overseas.

I am excited about life! I am filled with Hope. I am overwhelmed with JOY! 

I am going to do my best to live by the ‘Glad Texts’

(one of my favorites is–Psalms 98:4) — Did you know that there are over 800 Glad Texts in the Bible?!?! More than one for each day of the year for me to live by.
