Thankful!
As I entered 2nd block this morning two of the students commented on how happy I always seem. I do usually have a smile on but sometimes I forget that it really does impact those around me. I bring this up not to toot my own horn but to remind myself of the daily responsibility of sharing Christ in any way I can. I'm working at a high school (9th-12th graders) until December. I'm really appreciating the steady hours (and pay) and that each day holds the same schedule as the day before. I'm not big on change. :) Anyway, one of the girls said, "you always look so happy. I wish I was like that." Wow, that hit me and in that instant I thought, ok Lord, how can I show her it's because of you? So, I told her that each day could be one long complaint or we can see what God's blessed us with. I said I have a lot to be thankful for. I want to be thankful everyday no matter what's going on. Each day seems to go so fast now. I want to focus on the positive because there is so much to thank Him for.

You always brightened my day. I really felt your absence when you weren't there. Still do.
Wow, thank you. You're gonna make me cry, and it's too early in the day. :)It may not seem it (since we somehow had a horrific time getting together in the last year) but I really miss our friendship and being able to talk everyday. You may not know it, but our visits made my mornings bearable at that school. It was so nice to have at least one friend. I come to B'ham often. I hope to see you soon.
What a GREAT point! And NEEDED in my life right now - THANK YOU for sharing! Miss you AL friends much!
