After a year of learning to be completely dependent on Christ and dying to my own desires I felt like it was safe to say that coming home would be a nice vacation from all that I had been learning. Funny thing though, God doesn't take summer vacation. As soon as I flew home I quickly realized that what I was learning across the world still applied in my own home.
But God is good, and I feel like I am going back refreshed and ready for this school year. I am excited for what the Lord has in store for me and my fourth graders this year!
My grandma gave me a verse the other day, she told me it was meant for me :) and I thought it was appropriate.
"A miserable heart means a miserable life;
a cheerful heart fills the day with song (Proverbs 15:15)."
