oh the end is near!

Yes, it’s been too long since I’ve written a full post. I’m sorry! Trust that the life of a student teacher requires lonnnngggg hours on the computer, and not necessarily for fun. Facebooking, blogging, or tumblr-ing (as I am all too fond of doing) take a backseat to figuring out PowerPoint, SMARTBoards and scanners. Although I’m not technologically impaired, I’m certainly not inclined. All this to say… I’ve been busy, and I’ve been learning.

I’ve learned that I cannot do things on my own. I have a tendency to internalize issues… attempt to “buck up” and face the world as an independent, free agent… completely unattached and detached emotionally! Of course, this perspective never quite works out the way I think or hope it will. I am attached. Always. I feel. Always. I need help. Always. Especially now, being married and all, I have to refocus myself to be dependent. My burdens are not a burden to him - in fact, my burdens bring us closer together! Fortunately, as with so many other aspects of marriage, I see connections to my relationship with Christ. And that’s how it’s supposed to be! And both are strengthened! Wow. God is good.

Now, I’m a mere 1.5 weeks from the end of student teaching, and 3 weeks from graduation! Pray that I am able to finish STRONG!!!
