A day to start off the weekend...

Today was Friday...well it still is actually for people in the states. For me though it is Saturday morning and I really should be getting ready for bed. It just occurred to me though how depressing my blogs have been lately. So I decided why not write a little bit of a happier note for this week. Next week is our last full week of school before Christmas break. I can't believe that the school year is almost half way over. It is simply amazing to me to think about what the Lord has done this semester all ready and what he is going to do.

Tonight I played cards with 3 friends. It was so much fun, just to laugh and get in that competitive card mode....you know the mode that you think everyone has but really I didn't realize just how competitive I really am. I think what hits me the most is the complete ease I feel around people that I have known for almost 5 months. There is just something there. Even though I do not talk to every single person everyday there is a connection and a respect that you do not find in all places. I am thankful for the encouragement and just the times of fun. For I do have fun.

Today was Bible day. I happened to love Fridays for that very reason. I am doing outlines of every book in the Bible with my students. Although it may seem a little boring, I still think that it is a firm foundation. For they truly need to know and understand what it is that they are believing or not believing. I realized that if I had that when I was in 6th grade, I might know a lot more. Although it is not just about head knowledge. But the more you know the more you can obey, right?

Tomorrow I go over to help a family with their kids. There are four girls the youngest one was born two weeks ago. Such a sweet family. Last week we walked to the store and it was just fun to be around them and getting to hold the baby.

I guess that life is good after all. Here I am in the midst of adventure and all I can do is complain at the things I have no control over. So I am going to stop that, because in the end it is not worth it at all to complain. I must see things through God's view.
