Weekly Blogger

Apparently I am going to need to resign myself to being an 'about once a week' blogger. I just am struggling to find the time to get on and post on a more regular basis. I do love keeping a record of my life that I can look back on, and I actually have surprised myself that I have plenty to say (why this surprised me I don't know, I love to talk, but I was afraid blogging might be different...its not), but I just struggle to get on and get it all on here. So I think if I set a goal as updating once a week, that is more realistic. And on occasion, when I have time, or something I am too excited to share, I'll post more.

Its bible study night again! I am so excited, we are meeting at Teri Morton's house tonight. Last week we met at Amy Hughen's. Nancy (our leader) has so much great information and wisdom to share, her knowledge of the bible is overwhelming. She is a truly great teacher, and a wonderful and endearing person. This bible study is such a blessing in my life. It has reminded me how important it is to trust in the Lord to fulfill ALL of our needs, he knows the needs and desires of our hearts better than we know them ourselves. This bible study and time of fellowship with colleagues and believing friends is something I was desperate for in my life, it was a hole in my spirit that wasn't being filled, and I didn't even realize until I began getting it filled.

On an unrelated note, I have to say, my students have some nerve! This is how one of my kids left her desk after school today: Needless to say there will be consequences...folder marks are in her future! I just can't believe she had the audacity to leave with her area like this! I'm also asking for prayers for one of my students and his family. His dad has been home from Iraq for one month, and tomorrow he leave to go back! I know its hard for that family, and the dad, and I just want them all to find peace with this, and him to return safely again soon!

I have a praise as well, I am so thankful for the attitude I have concerning my new student who begins on next Tuesday. Usually getting kids in the middle of the year suck, and we all dread it, but for some reason I am really excited to meet this young man and help him get settled in. I'm not worrying about having to "train" a new one at this late point in the year. I know my positive attitude is going to make this transition into my room easier for me, and for the new student.

Next Monday, the 19th, is our first meeting with the CALL (in Central Arkansas), the foster care group we are seeking our certification though. I can't wait to begin learning more! I will definitely be posting progress with that as it comes!!!
