blessed



I have my job next year!! Yay! I will be teaching 2nd grade again at Lewis Carroll. Thanks to everyone who prayed. God definitely was in control of this situation. Next year is going to be a big challenge, though.  Three of the teachers on the 2nd grade team have been moved to different grades. We will be getting some fresh blood to replace them. Fresh blood meaning they haven't taught 2nd grade. So, I will have more experience in the grade then the others. Which baffles me. I will be going from the one who is always asking questions... to the one who should have the answers.  

  He never said his blessings would be easy.

wednesdays are my favorite.

Every Wednesday I leave work and head to a local coffee shop and meet two of my favorite people, Deeann and Lauren. While enjoying our coffee/tea and snackie we chat about our weeks and what God has been doing with us.  Each week one of us will bring a few Bible verses to the group and share why it is important to us. We all memorize the verses throughout the week and have to recite it to each other next time. It's been incredible to see how God uses those verses. They are definitely not random! He has a reason for us to be thinking about it all week. They have been challenging and comforting at the same time. We have been used by God to share these verses with other people. It's incredible. To complete our afternoon, we share what is on our hearts and what we need each other to be praying about. And we pray. 

How lucky am I!?  I am so blessed and grateful to have these girls in my life. I love Wednesdays.

Plus...they are WAY fun!
