I have found that it is very interesting to remain updated by close friends who happen to be spread throughout the globe.
I have to thank my former roommate Bethany Seip for introducing me to this lovely outlet! I have found her blogs quite hysterical, moving, and motivational as she keeps her contacts informed about recent happenings in China. I admire and respect her enthusiasm and willingness to pack up and head into China to teach precious students. Miss you Beth...
Well, I am excited about this season, fall tends to heightened the awareness I have about my surroundings for some reason. I often find myself excited to be outside, just to breathe in the cool air or see the beautiful array of leaves that blanket the ground.
This year is much different for me, for the past three years I have not been able to enjoy the seasonal change due to living in the beautiful sunny state of Florida! It is definitely exciting to be back in a state that has four seasons! I am a little biased for my hometown state. :O)
I am currently loving every moment of being a "first year," middle school teacher. From 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., we engage in deep discussions about the everlasting love of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the jealous love of our Heavenly Father. This has to be the best job in the world. I am cautioned with the fear of the Lord on days when I find my self slipping into a "funk," rather than dwelling in it, I am learning more about the power of speaking the word of God over my life and day. Boy does it make a difference. Almost immediately, the joy of the Lord surrounds my body, encouraging me to endure for the sake of growing closer to my creator in order to love and live as He is.
Thank you Lord for your unchanging, never-ending, everlasting, jealous, unrelenting love.
Set apart from Him we can do nothing. Father, it is my prayer that in all I do today, you would grant me the grace to walk in righteousness for your name sake. Amen
Love,
Meg
