Today was my first day back to work after my summer of being a stay at home single person. For the past few weeks I have been DREADING going back and still was a bit unsettled this morning. I hadn't set my alarm very often this summer so setting it was hard! I woke up, got ready and headed to work.
I enjoy my commute because it gives me a chance to think and pray and prepare for the day ahead of me. As I got off the freeway and started driving towards the school, I started to get an amazing sense of peace and I started to cry. I was once again humbled that God has chosen me to teach another year at this school. Why did He chose me? He could have chosen ANYONE else in the whole wide world, but He picked me! Oh, how can I discredit that? He has specific children picked out that will sit in the seatsof my classroom. They will peer up at me with eyes of wonder. What's going to be behind those eyes, I am still unsure. Some may have seen extreme turmoil, sadness, and pain. Things I may never be able to empathize with. There may be some who are barely surviving physically due to their lack of basic needs being met. There may be some who are loving, some who may seem unlovable. He picked me to impart knowledge and most importantly the love of Christ to these children. I am so humbled and honored that He searched the earth and called me to my mission field, oh it maybe only be 25 minutes down the road and not on the other side of the globe, but I am every so willing to answer this call, because He is going to provide me with all that I need to make it through this next school year.
This lovely picture is what greeted me when I got in this morning.... they had repainted the walls and re-waxed the floors. Everything looked fabulous, but they had pushed all my stuff into the middle of the room and piled it up... whew what a mess.
The guy working on the internet left all his stuff in my room which included 2 ladders and this huge roll of wire.
