Hmmm...only one post this week. Are you disappointed? This is hard! I have so much to say and write, but by the time I get home or get down time, I don't have the energy to write it all out!
Yesterday, I prayed with one of my students who came to me for advice! It was so special and really encouraging. It is precious what these middle schoolers are dealing with. I want to pray for all my students regularly. I want them to know the love God has for them!
That's what's so hard. I want to teach. I love teaching! But I don't really love teaching about metaphors, similes, and punctuation. I want to teach people, and these kids, that God loves them. I know I can do that indirectly...but how?
Btw, I went for a run yesterday because I left school a little after 4 and it was 60 degrees out. My butt hurts like no other today! Student teaching has left me little time and energy for regular working out, which I was used to over Christmas break. But I'm getting a work-out at school...pushing that copier button is keeping me moving! But seriously, I probably walk back and forth from the copier 10 times a day...maybe a bit of an exaggeration...but it's a lot! I MUST be exercising, I get home some nights and want to pass out! Again, here we are. It's midnight. What am I still doing up?
Knowing that was a rhetorical question, I will answer it anyway. I have a dear friend who told me she was reading this blog, and that means the WORLD to me. SHE means the world to me. I don't think I can put it into words how much I love her. Thank you, my dear friend, for showing me true friendship.
Ok, this is me, pooped. Goodnight!

I for one am glad you stayed up to write this, my dear. Bc what an amazing way for me to hear about your day and thoughts :) I DO want you to be healthy and get some sleep stil ;) "I can sleep when i die" -young jeezy. Girl that copier button is TOUGH STUFF! Work it! I know you are exerting so much energy at school, abs, and you probably don't even realize it! Maybe student teaching is showing you yes, you are a gifted teacher, so find out what you want to teach! I think it is so amazing that a student came to you and you all prayed; that made me smile. I know you are changing these students' lives, aas. you keep it up and we'll figure out what it is preparing you for when the time comes. I love you and you mean SO much to me. I miss you. Keep writing :)
