Well school is back is session and once again I'm busy busy busy. A lot has happened since I last blogged, so I'll use the next few minutes to catch you up!Michael and I got engaged on August 8th,we are both so excited!! School has started back and I have 156 new smiling faces this fall. I have completed two of my graduate school classes and am now on classes three and four! Also, this summer I joined First Presbyterian. It seems like there is so much going on in my life...
This week has been one hectic week!! I have shamely scheduled and rescheduled four meetings with the caterer. She is so kind to be so understanding. Who knew that teaching school could be so time consuming and demanding? I thought they just graded papers..haha..Actually, to shed some light on how MUCH we actually do, you should probably know that at least two or three times a week we have some type of development workshop on top of planning.
SCHOOL:
My classes this year...lets see...I have six classes in all..three accelerated and three non-accelerated. All are wonderful with the exception of one class that has a few bad apples. Hey, it wouldn't be a school year without them. I think the Lord places them in my class for a reason and that is to show Christ through me and be a beacon of hope and love in their lives.
Belhaven..oh Belhaven...classes, are as usual, diverse, interesting, and LONG. I love that there is a Chrisian tworldview in the beginning of each class. I guess that's what you get when you attend a Christian college. This semester I am taking two classes, Dimensions of Learning I and Effective Teaching Strategies. I guess we will see how I juggle teaching, going to school, and planning a wedding. Oh, how am I going to do it? I know it will work out.
MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO:
Ran into a lady in Stein Mart the other day and she was telling me of a girl that was killed in a car accident, the girl was killed two years and two days from her brother. They were both killed in drunk driving accidents. Awful..my heart and prayers go out to that family. It is so sad that kids do not think before they get behind the wheel.
OH HOW I LOVE:
Michael and I went to our first of five premarital counseling sessions with our church. We are both so delighted to have Nate Shurden officiating our wedding. Nate is such an awesome guy, he makes us both feel so comfortable. I am glad to know that he will be a part of our journey together. The funny thing is, I don't think I realized how blessed I was to have Michael in my life and as someone I am going to spend the rest of my life with until Monday. What made me have this "Ah-ha moment" was that Nate had us talk about how we met, how our relationship evolved, and how we got to the place we are today. As we both talked about our relationship, it was so amazing to see how God's hands have been wrapped around our relationship the whole time. I'm amazed and so very grateful for the blessings that he has given to both of us.
I hope all is well with everyone... Have yourself a wonderful weekend and I'll try to do the same!
God BLESS
