It's been a long time since I've been on this thing. I mean, I had to have my password e-mailed to me just to sign in! For some reason, I got the sudden urge to update. So, here I am. And just like every time I get the urge to blog, I have no clue what I'm about to type. I'm sure I can come up with something. By the way, it's good to be back. :) Not sure when I'll sign back on again...speaking from past experiences!
Here are some updates on my life...for those of you who are interested! If you're not, stop reading now, and get back to Facebook.
1. I am almost through my first year of teaching. Can I get an amen somebody!?! I. love. my. job. Enough said. :) I get 82929384 hugs a day. I randomly hear "Miss Hurt, I love you, and you're the best teacher in the world, and you're pretty" all day long. I laugh everyday because they're so dang funny, and I tape every picture that is drawn for me on the wall. These things make the tattling, and hitting, and talking when they're not suppose to, and running in the halls, and marking on each other's work forgivable. :) I'm thankful to God that He allowed me to be the one to teach them, love them, hug them, discipline them, and care for them... I'm a happy teacher.
2. I coached cheerleaders this year. Talk about staying busy. But, I will say, I had one legit Jr. High cheer squad. :) It was this coaching gig and these cheerleaders that God used to reveal to me my heart and love for teenage girls. I pray that they desire a relationship with Jesus and fall so in love with Him that they can't help but lean on and depend on Him every single day. Watching them grow in their relationships with Christ and each other puts a smile on my face! They're awesome.
3. I would give anything to be on a beach...right now. Ok, tomorrow would work too.
4. I'm moving to Texas. I have complete peace in knowing that God's got this all planned out for me. And that's all I'm going to say about that for now. :) I feel another blog coming on...
5. Warm weather makes me so happy! I want to be outside all the time. I did swing on the playground the other day, and I was one happy kid! Then I had to get off and share with a 5 year old...
6. Twitter is my new addiction. I do it to read quotes from people like John Piper and David Platt...who are legit. I'm a fan of Path too. I love technology...
7. I need a mission trip in my life. I need to love on some kids who are in desperate need of some love.
8. I'm obsessed with how much Jesus loves me. When I go outside at night, I'm overwhelmed with the fact that the moon and the stars declare who HE is (song quote...in case you didn't catch that)...HE is the same being that longs for a relationship with me. I'm constantly convicted about not giving Him all of my attention...when I've got all of His all of the time. He's there, He's faithful, He's loving, He's comforting, He's peaceful...He doesn't have to be all of those things, but He chooses to be. That kind of love just leaves me with no words. Literally, I can't even describe it. More thankfulness going on in this blog!
9. My birthday's next month, and I'm already pretty excited about it. I'm really trying to make it to 10 here...
10. Something that makes me really happy is knowing that I have so much to look forward to. I don't want to miss a thing along the way. I want to live expectant and ready to hear from God at any moment. Right now, He's telling me to go to sleep because it's late and I have little patience when I'm tired. Patience is kinda important at my job!
Ok, that's all I've got for tonight! This is where I struggle every time. How do I end this thing?? Goodnight! (That'll work!!) :)
