Feeling Very, Very Blessed!

It is after midnight and my mind is going a hundred miles an hour.  The Christmas presents are wrapped and under the tree, the house is clean, the groceries are bought and my mind is consumed with so many exciting adventures ahead for me.  Sometimes I wish God had made us with the ability to stay awake ALL the time and I wouldn't have to rest.  There is always so much I want to do!

I have five more months of teaching and these are powerful months ahead!  My students will learn to read, they will learn more about God and they will learn about their own abilities and weaknesses and the power God has to use both of those.  My sweet kids are going to grow so much in the next few months.  They will meet some amazing people and they will learn the immeasurable joy of serving others.  I truly cannot wait!

God has been teaching me invaluable information regarding disability ministry through the "Beyond Suffering" course I am taking.  I completed all of the reading assignments, videos, and questions.  I have two papers to write and then I have completed the course.  I am humbled and amazed by all that God has taught me over the last couple of months.  It has been quite a journey!

Last but not least, I am so grateful for the beautiful people God continues to put in my path.  They have let me share in their struggles, their sufferings, and in their joys.  There is much to be said about walking the path God puts before us and trusting Him with our future.  I am so incredibly blessed!
