today i stood in front of a class... took role... called myself "miss jones"(ugh)... met 90ish 9th and 10th graders that are going to be mine for the next 9 weeks... i met 90ish strangers, and immediately felt my heart overflowing with love for them. love that couldnt have possibly come from inside of me. i want so badly for them to know and love Jesus to a deeper and greater capacity through out these nine weeks.
today was an introduction lesson, and i enjoyed so much getting to know my students, i'm looking forward to knowing and loving them better, and teaching better because of it.
and to leave you; a quote i heard from one of my students today: (i think i may write a book at the end of these nine weeks, filled with quotes from 9th and 10th graders...)
in reference to a questionaire that asked "what would you do with a million dollars??"
"well, i would definitely give some of it to like... homeless people. well, maybe not all homeless people, because some of them would like totally use it to buy like...drugs."
:) high schoolers. gotta love them.
