ahhhh, seventh bell.

i'm on week three...
that's just crazy to me, this new life has become routine, and i'm adjusting to the demands of it's schedule. i go to bed at 930... i'm pretty sure that's before even my parents are in bed. i'm up before 6 every morning, at school by seven. and i love it. i love the life that i have right now. i love hanging out with my kids every day, and i love how much they challenge me. i think the Lord was incredibly gracious in giving me a seventh bell that i LOVE. it makes it much easier to leave and come back every day.

in the absence of being around people that know me and love me well, the Lord is being ridiculously good to my heart and loving on me constantly, and for that i am incredibly grateful.

I think it's ironic that i'm the teacher in this scenario... i'm pretty sure i'm learning more than most of my students on a daily basis, my mind and heart are on overload 90 percent of the time. i cant journal fast enough half of the time.

today was the first day that i felt entirely comfortable. i knew what needed to be done, and i ran my classroom, it was a nice change. obviously there is always more to be done and thigs to be done better, but i feel like i'm headed in the right direction. i cant imagine what this blog will look like seven weeks from now...

i'm giving my first test a week from today (yikes!) i'm nervous, mostly because i hate when my students dont do well... and if they dont do well it probably has a great deal to do with me not teaching effectively... so pray that everything goes over smoothly this next week!!
