Center

God is so good to me. Every day, all the time. And I mess up so much, thinking that it's all about me and putting my relationship with Him last. I went to chapel tonight, and it was just so good. It really reminded me to focus on Christ. I lose focus ALL the time. I become consumed with school and graduating and finding a job and worrying about the future that I forget that He has everything under control. He has plans for my life that I don't even know about. All this time that I have been worrying about student teaching and doing everything perfectly, I should have just spent focusing on Him. I want Him to be all I see right now, and through seeing Him I will be able to see everything else clearly. Does that even make sense? It does in my mind. When you trust God, everything will be ok. It sounds like such a standard answer, but it is the truth I am focusing on right now. I am so thankful that I can live for his purpose, his will, and his plans for me.

Time to Start Posting Again

Well, I guess I'm not too consistent with the blogger thing. I started my student teaching, and I feel all nervous and excited. I'm the new kid again. Except that I'm actually the teacher this time. It's beyond weird. Just when you get used to classes and college and all that, life changes and you are put in a whole new situation. It's good though. The students come on Wednesday, and tomorrow I am working with my cooperating teacher to get the room ready. I'm even nervous about that. Ahh! I guess at some point I have to stop worrying about doing everything perfectly and just roll with it. I'm also adjusting to life as a renter in an apartment. It's SO much better than dorms. (Although buying groceries and cleaning supplies and so on is an expensive experience) Yay for senior year!
