Okay, so I must admit that I have been struggling this past week. I have been stressed since coming here as I adjust to having my own classroom of students, a new culture, a new language, and missing Japan. Last week it hit me hard. Please pray for me as I learn to love teaching and love my students (I am struggling in both these areas). I am reminded of a verse in Proverbs 3:5-6......"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
I am learning this very thing....to TRUST in the Lord to give me strength, wisdom, and a peace that I am right where He wants me. I do believe that I am here for a reason but it still makes it so hard!
Parent-Teacher Conferences are this week, which doesn't help in the stress department. Pray for me as I get the courage to talk to parents (even though I still don't know all my students real well). On a positive note, I am leaving Friday night through Sunday for a MUCH needed trip to the beach! I can hardly wait! Until then, I will.....just keep swimming!:0)
