Prop me up!

The Final Stretch!!

I can't believe my first year of teaching is in the final stretch! What a year this has been! There are only 9 more weeks of school left. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I only have 2 more G/T online classes and an ESL Certification test remaining and this excites me!

However, even though I'm excited, I still want to finish strong. It's not over yet - so much can happen in 9 weeks. I've had some recent days where I think all I can do is just survive until May. I want to do more than just survive.

When Jordan first started preschool - she and I both were a little nervous. I was sad not to see her all day and she was scared about going to a new place with new people. So I gave her a kiss and told her to put it in her pocket. If she got to a point in her day where she missed me - just take out that "kiss" and put it on her face and it would be like I was right there with her.

Somehow this worked for her! Today I read a verse in Psalms that I'm going to treat like this "kiss" I gave Jordan so many years ago. I'm going to tuck it away in my pocket and when I feel I can't finish strong - I'm going to pull it out and remember that the Lord is right here beside me.

Ready for the verse? Me too!

Psalm 68:19 (ESV)

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up;

God is our salvation.

With His daily bearing up I can conquer these next 9 weeks!

Have a great day everyone!
