Thankfulness

Wow, what can I be thankful for today? 'Today' is way too broad....what about this second? I can be thankful that God has given me the chance to teach, especially in the lives of His little lambs. I have completed my first week of student teaching...it was more challenging then I thought it would be BUT it was also more rewarding than I thought it would be. I get to experience first hand how caring teachers can help a child, I get to see first hand how vitally important family is, and most importantly I get to see first hand how faith is growing in their hearts.
What else can I be thankful for this second? My husband, he is the man God put on earth for me. He is God-fearing, a leader, supportive, caring, talented, loving, smart, thoughtful, Faithful, and encouraging. Student teaching is time consuming in such a way that I am not able to work but my amazing husband is shouldering the burden of working and being here for me. I have so many things to be thankful for in this second!

There is a time for everything

There certainly is a time for everything. The time for us now is blogging and student teaching. First off this is a new challenge for us to have a blog. We realized how useful a blog would be in sharing our lives with our family from miles away but neither of us have created much online except emailing - very different from a blog. The second thing is student teaching. I am privileged to be assigned to three amazing schools for my student teaching semester. I will get class experience with infants, pre-primary children and kindergartners before my final portfolio evaluation and finally graduation. I start tomorrow and the anticipation, nerves and excitement are continuing to grow every second. Will the children like me, will I be able to help them, will I be the type of teaching that can help them grow? All of these questions are rattling around my head but I am comforted because...'There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. He has made everything beautiful in its time' Ecclesiastes 3:1,11
