what is your sense of delayed gratification? how are you at personal discipline? are you well-equipped to take big ideas and break them down into manageable ones? what about boundaries or prioritization? These are areas of personal development. or, if i am allowing myself to be needy: where i need a lot of help. and these just so happen to be areas in which i have the opportunity, currently, to grow and learn. i have spent a lot of heart energy learning and absorbing the growth and change that god has allowed for me in regards to character (humility, patience, peace, Truth). Now it's time to live that out as i submit each day of work and service to the Lord for his leading and guiding. because i am feeling SO ill-equipped to be a teacher to high school students or to lead families well. and quite frankly, i am awfully terrified by my inadequacy. and so i pray and rely on this,
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
i love my job. i love the team i get to work with. especially kristin. it's not often that you get to work with your bff, is it? it's funny, now that some of the students are getting to know us, and discover that we live together and are friends, they try to work the system. Ha. won't work, but they will figure that out soon enough.
on my current prayer list: debt reduction, saving money for megan's wedding, marriages, my friends, journey internship 2010 and going to kenya in june, adoption, church attendance, my classes, my dear Bible students, my fabulous Literature and my funny History Students, the families of bristol oaks, authentic community, and YOU- the reader.
