Third Week: OVER!!!

I can't believe how FAST time is going! The Third Week is OVER!!! YES!!! Not that I have NOT been having a wonderful time (Cause it really has been a blessing) with the kids but the kids can be stressful at times, and I really do miss my family and friends. Perhaps I am feeling like this ONLY because a few hours ago I was stuck at the beach with the kids only to find that it was absolutely FREEZING and cloudy! And when the kids needed to change...well...that was ABSOLUTE CHAOS! But Praise the Lord for His goodness and love He has provided in my heart for these wet and complaining children. Hahahaha :p

Well this week I had my first One on One with one of the many lovely mentors on staff. It was a lot fun and so refreshing to share where I was in life and how I felt about the program. What a blessing it is to just have someone else to talk to and get insight into one's life problems and blessings! Which leads me into...

One question that has been running in my mind is "Do I want to pursue a career in education?" Honestly I cannot give an absolute answer only because things could change from here on out, but at the moment I would probably say no. Hahahah Really education is such a blessing to pursue as a career, but the deeper I get into the program the more I realize it may not be for me :p BUT I certainly honor those who have, want, or are in the process of doing so! It's been three weeks and USUALLY you would think the kids would begin to get a better handle at rules and class room respect, but I feel like its been the total opposite.

I still love my homeroom class but one thing I have noticed is that they are beginning to become A LOT more comfortable with me and therefor the "true" them has been coming out! Hahahaha but you just gotta love them! I only have three little girls! No boys. As far as math goes...it's still a struggle but there is process being made just at a very slooooow rate. Hahaha But progress is progress. Better some than none :p

In all honesty I don't think I could of asked for better children. They have been the very reason why I have been able to grow deeper into my relationship with the Lord as I serve in EPA! They are a blessing (in disguise sometimes :p) and I praise the Lord for allowing me to teach/mentor them this summer. When I met up for my one on one, I realized that I really just gotta enjoy the bumpy ride God puts us on. No one has it smooth, but God uses every circumstance in our life to shape us into the person He has called us to be. Now to end this with a quote by Oswald Chambers "What I need is God's surgical procedure-His use of external circumstances to bring about internal purification."
