Today was a very long and tiring day. We took a field trip to Raging Waters (You guessed right, a water park! ...what are we thinking? :p) Anyways I only had 3 kids assigned to me so it really was not that bad. My kids were amazing in listening and staying together. They were not swimmers so we stayed in the kiddy pool area for a while, but I eventually got them to face their fear and play in the lazy river, wave pool, and go down a water slide! I was so proud of them. I did a little pushing, but it was SO worth it watching them laugh and play in the water!
Today was just a reminder to me from God about my own fears. There are times when I am like my own kids, scared of a situation that's already in front of me and not wanting to take the first step into it, but then the Lord takes my hand and tells me to not be afraid; then He takes the first step and I follow. Praise God for His love, mercy, patience, and grace! My God is SO good to me! Praise God that none of my kids or any of the other kids misbehaved, drowned, or hated the water. Anyways.....
EVERYONE I only have ONE MORE WEEK LEFT! I'm SO excited and sad about it. I'm in between with my feelings about this whole experience. I just want it to be over, yet at the same time I don't want it to end yet. Hahahaha...Well no matter what I must face reality that next week IS my LAST week which means lots of reviewing, testing, parties, and my least favorite, goodbye's. Seriously I am going to miss these kids. I think the kids have made more of an impact in my life than I may have made in theirs.
Well...I have much resting that I need to do this weekend. I know this week is gonna fly, and soon I will be saying my goodbye's. Praise God for this wonderful, insightful, and impacting internship for this summer! :D
