Sitting in the
Middle School teacher’s lounge, avoiding grading and listening to some awesome
music by The Weepies, I figured I’d try writing a blog – it’s been about 3
months since my last one so I guess it's time :).
Update:
Yearbook sucked the life and time out of me for the month of
March. It’s done and I didn’t kill anyone or make anyone cry (at least to my
knowledge). I’m nervous for its
debut in a couple weeks but I’m proud of the work put into it by all involved.
Decided to go back to US for 6 months and figure out the
next step. The biggest question is what does God have planned? I know it’s
planned, I just don’t see it yet. I have confidence that a furlough is the
right move and that the Lord will bless it just as he has blessed me here.
Research paper ate up my April. Teaching and grading them was pure insanity and at times
frustrating. It’s finished and I am confident that every one of my students can
go into high school knowing that they can write a research paper.
At 8th grade retreat last week, almost cried (not normal) while talking a particularly special student I have been praying for –
continuing to pray that God works wonders in his life.
Birthday today (quarter of a century old AHH) and preparing to say goodbye – I hate
goodbyes and I’m fighting the urge to blow them off. “See you later” is a much better farewell. Packing up stuff and downsizing the
junk in my life, what a chore!
Just switched music to David Crowder Band’s “Can You Feel It;” the
first line is “Can you feel it ?/ The love in this place/ Can you feel it?”
Yes, yes I can and I thank God everyday for his love and the love of the people
in this community. I am blessed to be here.
3 and ½ weeks left in the Phils for a while – planning to
make the most of it.
