How Much?

Something I've been thinking about lately...

A strained, forced recitation of truth because "I ought to" rarely does much to convince anyone.

Neither does an argumentative, sarcastic debate. And really, even being given something out of pity can be offensive to many.

And few of those methodologies produce much action or growth on the part of the initiator. But . . . even I (infamously private about the things I'm passionate about) will tell someone about the things I can't imagine living without, how they make my life 200% better. And telling someone about how good those things are, well, it makes me want to go spend more time doing them, too.

How long before I will let myself love Jesus enough that I can't imagine life without Him?

And love Him enough that He's something I can't imagine anyone else living life without?

[Pre-]Teacher Diaries: Last Year

Well it is the last semester of regular classes.

Next semester is student teaching.

Coming up so fast!

This semester for some reason is being super hard. I think a combination of senioritis and hard classes and still trying to make friends in a new group.

But you know what, He is still there. And every day He finds some way to remind me: This is not where you are to stay. This is only a step in the road.

And even if I have no earthly clue what is going to happen after this year? That's okay. 'Cause He's got it.

So, one day at a time! I am off to read more classical education theory, write P.E. lesson plans, and get ready for Remediating Reading Difficulties!
