Sorry for the blogging laps....

This is what I wish I was doing right now:

Taking a warm bubble bath
Reading my favorite book
Watching all the Episodes of Gilmore Girls and Bones
Painting my toe nails
Shaving my legs
Doing my hair
Going on a run

This is what I am doing:

Getting school stuff together - Student teaching in 6th grade at PMS
Thinking about school
Thinking about the big move we will make sometime this year
Wishing I could be done in December and not March.
Loving my husband with my whole heart
Thanking God for my incredible life
Learning to be thankful for everyday
Learning that not everything is about me
Feeling overwhelemed about school

Common theme: School is overwhelming me but God is good.

Please pray for me as I start a new school year with 6th graders. My desire is to touch their hearts, change their lives and show them what a great thing life and education is. I pray that I will not be too nervous or anxious to do the job I know I can do with the mighty hand of God by my side.

Found this........It explains how I am feeling

Lord, let me be just what they need.
If they need someone to trust, let me be trustworthy.
If they need sympathy, let me sympathize.
If they need love, (and they do need love), let me love, in full measure.

Let me not anger easily, Lord but let me be just.
Permit my justice to be tempered in your mercy.
When I stand before them, Lord, let me look strong and good and honest and loving.
And let me be as strong and good and honest and loving as I look to them.

Help me to counsel the anxious, crack the covering of the shy, temper the
rambunctious with a gentle attitude.
Permit me to teach only the truth.

Help me to inspire them so that learning will not cease at the classroom door.
Let the lessons they learn make their lives fruitful and happy.
And, Lord, let me bring them to You.
Teach them through me to love You.

Finally, permit me to learn the lessons they teach.
