Good Days and Bad Days

Last week I had a bad day. After my bad day on Wednesday I received some great guidance from my teammate Heather. She told me to speak to the principal about what was going on in the Kindergarten classroom. I followed Heather’s advice and spoke to the principal. She listened to me graciously and was also concerned about the situation in my classroom. Later in the day she came and spoke to the other aide and me about how to better work in the classroom. She also made the decision that the aide Denise was the one responsible for the children’s education. Since that meeting, life in kindergarten has gotten easier. I also feel less responsible for what is going on in there.

I love my church, I feel like I can’t say that enough. I taught Sunday school this past week about the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, I choice it to teach the children that story because God can choose any one at any age to perform a miracle. God used a small boy, like the children in my Sunday School class, to perform a great miracle.

Also I got a package today in the mail. It came with popcorn, cookie mix, candy, and hot chocolate. Also it came with a wonderful daily devotional. It is really nice to feel the love that others have for me outside of life here. Also some advice came in the package and that was to curl up, watch a movie, and have some chocolate. So that is what I am doing. I’m watching Mansfield Park and there is nothing a good Jane Austin movie can’t fix.

Thanks for the prayers, the encouraging thoughts, and the phone calls this past weeks. It makes a huge difference in my day when I realize that there are people out there who are thinking about me and praying for me because honestly life out here isn’t easy. God is speaking to me through all of you and the love that you send me.God is providing for me and he is all I need.
