New Beginnings

A lot has changed over the last few months. I feel as though my life has been in a constant state of change. Well, it's now a little more stable as I had my first day teaching second grade! I'm taking over a long-term substitute position at an elementary school in Lynn, MA. The position was such an answer to prayer in every possible way. God gave me a supportive school with standards, the grade I've always wanted, and in the city that I have a heart for. God is so incredibly good! Today I arrived at school at 6:50am and went through my day as best I could (it went surprisingly well!), and I just got home at 7:30pm because we had an open house. I got to meet my students parents and get to know my students a little better. Apparently, God didn't want me to feel overwhelmed or nervous cause I had no nerves and the last parent (when I was so tired I thought I might fall over) was amazing and told me that her family was Christian. I told her I was as well, and she just kept saying, "I've been praying for you! I've been praying for you!" That's an amazing feeling to know that you're someones answer to prayer and to be able to tell them that they're your answer to prayer. If her child wasn't there, I wouldn't have a classroom.
I would love to write more and will in the days to come as God reveals Himself to me more, but I'm exhausted and have to finish planning for my lovely group of 19 students tomorrow!

Here's to new beginnings...
