"I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. " Psalm 16:8
We had an okay day. I woke up this morning with intense sinus pressure and an unbelievable headache. We went to church and I am sure I would have enjoyed the service much better if my head was not about to explode. After church we went to eat at this Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood. It was actually pretty good and I am sure we will be returning:) After lunch we came home and we all went down for a nap. Thankfully the nap took the edge of my headache. Jeremy is watching football, the kids are playing, and I am tackling the clothes that I did not get to yesterday. I am seriously praying that our next house will have every day access to a washer and dryer!
Well it is back to school for all of us tomorrow and truthfully I am struggling. My devotion today was about following where the Lord is leading one step at a time. I have not mentioned much about my job this year. I guess I feel guilty talking about it because I am not enjoying it very much. Let me explain. I love my kids and I know God is helping make amazing connections. God has opened this amazing door for me and I know that this is where He wants me this year, but I am struggling. I guess the biggest problem has been that since I share the room with another teacher in the morning it is technically her room. I do not have any of my things hung up and I am very limited in the space that I have. In fact, I do not have any space at all for my things. I know I have had a bad attitude and I seriously have considered trying to find another job. BUT, I know this is where God wants me. I love being with my family every day and I am blessed how it all worked out for us to be at the same school. I know that it is about me surrendering my control and seeing what God wants to do with me. This should be an easy year for me, but once again I am making it so much harder on myself. Yesterday I actually planned my calendar/lesson plans through March in hopes that the year will go by quicker! I want to make a difference, so please pray that I use the remainder of this school year with eyes opened to what God is showing me.
Well, I guess we are going to watch The Biggest Loser tonight. We used to watch every season, but it just got too much! It seemed like they were having a new season ALL the time. We could not commit to watching that much:) Downton Abbey is also starting its new season tonight, but thanks to some shortcuts I already watched season 3. Not to spoil anything, but I am not sure if I will be watching any more seasons because of how the Christmas special ended. There are some shows that once a character is off I cannot watch it anymore. Jeremy kindly reminded me that Downton Abbey has a million other characters I could follow:) Back to The Biggest Loser, I have made a few resolutions this year and of course one of them is losing weight. I will be 35 a week from tomorrow ( CRAZY! I KNOW) and my goal is to lose 35 pounds this year. I find comfort that I have 12 months to meet this goal :) My first smaller goal is to fit back into my cute black coat that Jeremy got me a few years ago. It fits, but does not button, so my goal is by the end of the month is to be able to wear it and button it. Well, I better get the kids some food and get things ready for tomorrow. Have a great Monday!
