Well, I know it has been a while since my last post. It has been a little crazy, getting ready for TAKS. I had to finally accept that I have done everything I can to prepare my kids for the test, and that now it is up to them to pass the test. I am going to take each of their test booklets and pray over them in the morning, I am going to pray over each of their desks, their pencils, and will continuously pray as I monitor the test. I really surprised one of my kids today when I told him that I would be praying for them tonight. He asked, "Are you going to pray for all 22 of us?", and when I said yes he was shocked. Now don't take this the wrong way, he wasn't shocked that I pray, but that I will pray for each of my 22 students.
Life is going pretty good right now. I can't say its perfect, but its good. For the moment I am content with that, we were, after all, never promised a perfect life, or a good one at that. God is blessing me is ways that I cannot even see, even as I struggle to see my place in His perfect plan. It isn't a big struggle, just things I think we all experience at times.
Jacque recently introduced me to a new artist, that Chelsey introduced her to, named Brooke Fraser. Brooke sings a song called "Shadowfeet" that has been my theme song as of late. It plays in my head for most of the day. I start my day off, listening to it and singing on the way to work every morning. I also listen to her CD until my kids come to the room every morning, it just seems to calm my mind.
Well, I need to get in bed, so I can get to work early tomorrow. If you have an extra prayer tonight or in the morning send one up for my students and I, if you don't mind too much.
