School

My first thought when I began to write today was to complain (I'm tired, I'm overwhelmed, My head hurts from thinking, I don't know what I'm doing)--all of these things came to mind.

But, like I've been taught in school (when writing an IEP), I must also focus on something positive too. So I stopped and thought..
The one good thing about teaching is, I love my students. They are all great and have their own funny personalities and make me laugh each day!

This is how it is, I'll complain the entire way of never having enough time in the day to get everything done, but I won't stop. There are times that I will be completely lost and absolutely hate it, but I will continue.


In conclusion, I was reading someone's blog and I found this quote quite helpful.

"We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we're wondering how painful the best will turn out to be."C.S. Lewis

So

I want to sew right now, it may help me get things off my mind---but I can guarantee the entire time I'll be thinking of my to do list and how nothing is getting accomplished.


So, I'm back to the overwhelmed stage of work at school.

Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

I'm back.

Teaching is going great! It gets better each day.

Last Tuesday (the 25th)--I was SUPER SUPER freaking out, I did not feel prepared at all.
-But about 15 minutes into meeting my kids I relaxed and things really turned around for me.

And slowly but surely, I feel more comfortable. I'm still overwhelmed, but it is manageable.



Here's a picture from the other week when we went out for my friend Jill's Birthday!
