I mean seriously, why is time going by so fast? 6 weeks left in this semester, really? It's been absolutely nuts in my life this semester. Between waking up at 6 everyday, student teaching, Miss MHB Pageant practices 3 nights a week, being a College YL leader, going to bed at midnight, and attempting to still have a social life.. life is hard, but nonetheless, it's amazing. I spent 8 weeks with AMAZING 4th graders and I miss them so SO much every single day. Now I have precious little 2nd graders, who are so stinkin' cute, but just a little more needy. God has taught me that I have a love and a passion for children of all ages, but my heart is really with kids in like 4-8 grade, which is funny cause my degree is in PreK-6. Nevertheless, i love being a teacher and I am excited for the day that I get to have my own classroom! I've been sick quite a bit, which I've heard is normal for student teachers and 1st year teachers..so feel free to pray for that! :) Pageant is really great. I spent last week really stressing out WAY too much about it.. and I'm determined to make the rest of it fun and exciting :)
And here's the biggest news in my life right now:
I'm going to Haiti in December! :) I've been given the opportunity to go to Haiti for a week and serve in an orphanage in Guibert (pronounced Gee-bear with a hard g). We will be completing a new wing on the orphanage where 14 orphan boys will get a new home for Christmas, and participating in the wedding of the "house mom" of the orphanage! All while just simply loving the broken nation that Haiti is and proclaiming the name of Jesus. I am so absolutely excited! If you want more information on my trip, how you can pray, or how you can help get me there financially, please ask! :D
Love you :)
