I am in complete amazement that this school year is already 1/4 completed! This job that I wanted so much and yet feared so much has become my routine and continuously a consuming portion of my life.
Through the paper cuts while grading 8 million papers to the tearful revelations of my students' lives and the joyous laughs we've shared together, I could not have fathomed what this year would truly look like. I have been pleasantly surprised and continue to be so. I am in full understanding that this is where God has placed me and although some days I ask why, I know that this is His will for me and am delighted to be His follower.
I now wonder (from the other side :)) how many of my teachers were believers. How many of them secretly whispered prayers for strength throughout the day? Prayers of patience?
It has been an astounding journey so far and I can't wait to see what comes next. Please keep me and my students in your prayers as we trudge through the last two months before our deserved and much needed break. Thanks!
Two of my sweet girls!
