My Heart Is Full

This week was better. My heart is full.

I love kids and I love teaching. This week has been a blessing. I got to start working with the elementary school! My first day in the classroom I got a note that read "I Love You Mrs. G" and the second day I was lucky enough to hear about how much I helped a student understand their math assignment. There is so much love to go around. There is nothing else I want to do for the rest of my life, but just simply love my students.

Today, after 26 days of not seeing light from the sky, God opened up the clouds and gave me just what I needed. The sun shone brightly through the almost cloudless sky. What a beautiful site. Then tonight, on mine and Jessica's drive home we got to see the stars. It was these simple moments that reminded me that God knows just what we need and He takes care of us.

Tonight I was on duty and was not that excited for vespers because I wasn't feeling the best, but God woke me up and made me realize what amazing young people I am surrounded by. One of the task force girl's deans gave her testimony and it was beautiful. The things God has done in her life are nothing short of incredible and I am so blessed to be able to work with her. After vespers we all stood around the piano and sang. It was great to worship with my students in a new way.  

My heart is full and I can't express it enough. I have not felt this good since before being out here. The Lord has blessed me so much more then this, but it took these moments for me to embrace it. Like Proverbs says, "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones" I have finally found a joyful heart, I pray that I can remember this and continue to stay positive.
