A Partly Cloudy Summer

It seems as if my summer has come and gone so quickly.  I kept on trying to remember to enjoy my time here in the Pacific Northwest and yet too many mornings got away from me (even though I greatly appreciated my rest).

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)."
