And so it begins....

The 5am mornings and little children...

the teacher outfits and teacher voice

and glue and paint and staples and stickies and pencils and books and marker stains...

THIS year, it feels good to be on Round 2... Good to feel like I've done this before

and have a bit more of a plan.

School year 2012-2013 here it goes....

all the names of the little ones I spend my days with...

Classroom Day One. Who knows what it will look like in a month...

and sometimes things get crazy when you're setting up for school...

First day of school outfit 8-21.
Okay, so teachers do this too.

And nailed to my door, the piece of life I receive each day is this Scripture...

"Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which HE will work for you today." 
::Exodus 14:13

Whether on summer break or during the school year...

Each day is a gift that we get to expectantly wait for God to move. 

No matter how exhausted or drained or hopeless it might feel,

When HE is the source, life becomes full of tiny details that become blessings.
