You know you've had a good day when you come home with a smile or your face because you KNOW deep within your heart that you reached a child today & made their day a little brighter! I had probably the best day I've had at work so far, I have been at one of our 2 main STEPS schools helping establish a curriculum in one of our most challenging classrooms. I have enjoyed it beyond belief, I mean it's been tough and challenging but so much fun. All kids are special but today these kids blessed me and reminded me why I do what I do.
Most of you know that I've been struggling here in Kansas, struggling to find my "fit" at work, socially, geographically, etc.. to say the least this "transition" has not been an easy one across all domains. It's tough being away from everything your familiar with and all those you love most. The Lord knows I have been praying and seeking his face & maybe I haven't "clicked" with anyone just yet so that I will continue to seek his face through these uncomfortable times. I believe with all my heart he has a plan and a purpose for us being here in Kansas & even though it has felt like we are standing in the middle of a battle field each and every day - I know he's standing there with us, teaching us valuable lessons and sharpening our skills so that when the next battle comes we are prepared.
Today, or maybe this week has helped me feel purposeful. I like having a plan, I don't deal well with inefficiency {go figure} and maybe I'm feeling better because I took control and created a plan and expectations where I felt I had none. It's an uphill battle everyday - but I pray by the Grace of God I'm up for the challenge.... I'm not here to cause rifts or frustrate people, I'm not wrapped up in the drama that is my job. I'm here for the kids, my heart is to serve these kids and give them the best that I have day in & day out. That is my focus and my plan - I pray that's enough. :o)
In other news, Basketball season is in full swing & we're doing relatively well. Mr. B is busy & it's been tough but we're making it through. I'll be glad when we both have a little more free time to spend with each other.
Mr. B's parents are driving up on the 22nd & staying through the 28th - it will be a fun Christmas. I'm going to be preparing the meal and all that jazz so it will be very interesting. :o) I hope it turns out well.
I'm pumped to be headed to TEXAS on the 26th - I can't wait to see my Mamaw & the rest of the clan. Four months is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to long to be away from Texas. lol.
Alright, I need to go back to wrapping presents. Many blessing to you!
