"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Classes

I just left my last class meeting for the summer.... grades will be in next week. The funny part was that I was the first one to share on the first day of class, yet ended up being the last person to give my presentation on the last day of class.

I wish I could say that I was excited to be done, but this was the first class I really learned anything in...It is by far my favorite one. And I am excited in my thoughts of continuing on once I have completed my license and masters to get a second endorsement in Reading and I could do it all online with the educator I just had....that would be so cool.

At the same time, I can't believe I am even entertaining the thought of it, especially at this point. I really liked this class and wish I didn't have the stress from the other class I had to finish assignments for at the same time, plus all the other things in life that are adding to the stress.

Anyways, I wish I could have just sat in one of the eight class meetings anytime since I began teaching, or working with kids for that matter. I think about how much that this class has given me as a teacher and then think about all the students I have had in the past....wow, just the information from one class meeting would have made a huge difference in my teaching. Glad I have something to go forward with.

With that said, I know this is gonna be a rough year at one of my schools....I just keep reminding myself that GOD opened up the way for me to be getting paid while getting my Masters and learning from both good and bad examples in the classroom with hands on experience. So I am thankful and will need to continue to Trust in HIM, and most important seek HIM, because I can't do it without GOD...it's gotta to be ALL about HIM.

Now it is time to go rest in HIS Arms by taking a well needed nap.
