Wow! It seems like forever since I have stepped into this room... I see things I recognize, but there are cobwebs all over everything. I walk over to the couch covered by the dusty sheets to protect it. Wow, this is pretty comfortable, although haaaaa haaaa haaaachooooo! The dust gets to me every time. My 200 mph sneeze has kicked up even more dust. Let me open this dirty window and get some fresh air. Hey! There is a fan over in that window, plugged in too. Ooooh, now that breeze feels better. Getting everything moving in this attic really gives me pause to reflect...
This school year is almost over. So much has changed. I started this year out so ready for amazing things to happen. So rearing to make a difference, yet suddenly I can look back over the occurences of this year and really testify to the fact that life is what happens when you are busy making plans. This year, I was honored with facilitator of my department, but eventually fell out of grace with the administrator and it was torn from me. 3 school days later, the same administrator called me into her office and in humiliation, I was notified that she was not going to recommend my contract with the district be terminated at the end of the term. I was devastated. I questioned everything about my teaching career even though it was only 3 years old. I didn't want anything to do with this school ever again, or any school for that matter. But, all in all, God is great, all the time. I aligned my spirit with how He wanted me to be and I have renewed my joy and serving spirit so that I can glorify Him in this place. People have come out of the woodwork in encouragement and support for me. It has been the blessing.
My daughter came started this year on a positive note, but unfortunately it didn't end that way. She yet again got in trouble for truancy and was court ordered to get her GED. She passed! Then, she got a job! Praise the Lord! Then, she decided she was too big to follow rules, so she packed up all of her stuff and moved in with her boyfriend. TRAGEDY! I can hear the Bee Gees in the background now! The thing about it is, she will have to come to a place where she can make decidions based on her mind, objectively instead of emotionally. It is a struggle, but life is a good teacher and she is getting an education one way or another. We will see what is in store for her.
Our house is going up for sale. We are trying to sell it asap. We are downsizing in size and in cost. I am looking forward to having a more compact house. I need some coziness. I am blessed by whatever the Lord has for me, but my heart desires comfort and cozy. He is in control of it, and I am going to go where he leads.
The longer I sit on this comfy couch, the sleepier I get. I am going to relax with the sun shining on me, the fan blowing in my hair, and take a little nap.
My love to all.
Oh, hey! My little sister and brother are graduating this next month! I am so excited! 2 trips East, Yeehaw!!!
