Ahh... it's summer... and it feels good:) I've found that working at an elementary school has brought back many things; the word "potty" has found its way into my vocabulary, "How many more minutes till recess?" still crosses my mind more often than you would think, and lastly the excitement of "Summer Vacation!" My student literally skipped and danced down the hallway the last week of school because of the mounting excitement for summer.
I prayed and asked the Lord to help me not hit the ever-talked about and expected stage of "Burn-Out." It was almost as if every teacher had an alarm clock go off on the last 3 weeks of school that signaled the beginning of the burn-out phase to start. I believe that with God's strength and grace it is possible to end stronger than we started. I prayed to this end and saw God accomplish this work in my life. It was such a good end. It felt like crossing a finish line that we had been running towards all year. It felt good.
Since school ended, God has blessed me with times of rest, refreshment, and renewal.
I'm thankful.
Also...a side note, but not really a side note at all, more like a headline- a save the best for last kinda thing-
The one I love is returning again! My heart is soaring with joy and excitement. Has summer ever tasted so sweet?
