Update

It's been a month of school so far and can I just tell you it has been a whirl wind! On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have classes: Art methods from 10:00-11:05 then Reading Methods on Mondays, Language Arts Methods on Wednesdays and Children's Lit on Fridays from 11:20-3:00. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am at an elementary school in a third grade classroom. So far I have taught two reading lessons! I'm doing it!!!!!! After I taught my first lesson I felt such a sense of accomplishment. Oh and I also have a night class on Tuesdays from 6:00-9:30. Where does my social life fit in? I don't know...can you find it for me?

School School school, Oh School. My life is full of it. And even though sometimes it is very stressful, it's good and I consider it a blessing. I consider this time very sacred. Our Father has given me this heart for children and I see it growing. I am not absolutely sure where I will go with it, but I am waiting on Him. I love seeing Him giving me love for others -- it's exciting.

Beyond that my life is messy -- did you know that it's okay to be messy? It's okay to be in process and accept the grace our Father lavishes on us (you and me) in the process. Learning to be messy and be in process is not easy. I believe it's really important. I put this link on my last entry for a song called "Now you're found" but I'd like to share the lyrics:

If you're lost in a heartache on your own, ohhh
And if you're caught in a mistake and all alone, oh
If your soul is searching out
And your whole world's turned around, ohhh
If your faith is burning out
And love leaves you in doubt
And you know there's something more

Come to me now, lay your burdens down
Come rest in my arms
Feel my love abound
Come to me now, lay your burdens down
Come rest in my arms
You were lost, now you're found

When you're feeling forgotten on your own
When your soul is searching out
And your whole world's turned around
If your faith is burning out
And love leaves you in doubt
And you know there's something more

Come to me now, lay your burdens down
Come rest in my arms
Feel my love abound
Come to me now, lay your burdens down
Come rest in my arms
You were lost, now you're found

Come as you are, just as you are
I'll give you peace

Come to me now, lay your burdens down
Come rest in my arms
Feel my love abound
Come to me now, lay your burdens down
Come rest in my arms
You were lost, but now you're found

Ohhh
Now you're found
Ohhh
Now you're found
Ohhh
Now you're found
Ohhh
