Big Girl Job.

So, I got my first Big Girl Job!! (It sounds so juvenile when I add a title to it like that...but it's still true!). I am an official Middle School Special Education Teacher!!--And I have my first work day tomorrow!!

When I was looking for a job the unknown of it all really scared me.....And now that I have a job I have turned that in for a whole set of new worries..

But, we will see hopefully once I get in my classroom some of my worries will be alleviated!

Daily Reminder.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:26

I'm still here.

I don't have internet at my apartment right now...and I really hate it. I am currently sitting at Starbucks people watching and making my way through my daily website list!

I have an interview tomorrow at a Middle School in Charlotte. I don't know what I'm more worried about...teaching in general or teaching at a Middle School? I guess we'll see.



...I really like this verse. He knows my thoughts includes my fears and my hopes.
"You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. Psalm 139:2"

Adding a bow.

My friend Jill's birthday is next week! So, as part of her gift I decided to make her one of my towel wraps! She just moved into a new apartment and has painted her new room a light blue-- and has brown and tan as accent colors. We were at Hobby Lobby the other day and I had her pick out a matching ribbon and towel that she liked. (As you can guess this is not a SURPRISE gift!)

Well I finished her wrap today and here it is!

Voila!--a cute towel wrap!

Close up of the bow at the top! I have my wonderful roommate Chantal to thank for this bow. Originally I put some plain ribbon at the top--but it did not look right AT ALL. So Chantal suggested I put a bow at the top.--But, I kept the bow simple (I didn't want the "tassels" hanging down the bow because I was afraid if it got washed they would fray) and I very happy with it!

Daily Reminder.

Psalm 40:1-3-- 1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.

Comfort.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11: 28-31)
