Student teaching

It has only taken me two weeks to understand why people kept telling me student teaching was going to kick my butt. Trying to keep life balanced and keep caught up with everything has caught up with me and I'm not even to the hard stuff yet. I think I'll be okay though. Keep priorities. Sleep when you can. Meal prep on the weekends. Stay organized. Only 10 weeks to go. I've got a great host teacher, a great class and a merciful Father in Heaven. I've got this. 

Happy 2017

As I said my prayers last night (or rather very early this morning) I had a good talk with God about this last year. Despite some rough spots and being so busy with work and school, I learned a lot. I hadn't realized the lessons God slipped in there and the prayers that were answered. Despite how things turned out, I am grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who is always aware of what I need, even when I am not.
