I hate that I always feel like I have nothing to say on here. I have hundreds of random thoughts running through my head and I only have a sentence or two to say about them. Makes for a pretty crappy blog. I apologize to all of you who are reading this and now thinking, “What a waste of my time.” If you have something you want me to talk about I would love some recommendations. Email them to me at hjh0614@gmail.com or leave a comment here and I will go for it.
I have been reading Radical by David Platt. I am enjoying it. Makes you think about how you are doing at sharing the gospel. Very convicting because I think I am doing a pretty terrible job. I come in contact with so many people every day and fail miserably. I love my Jesus and am so thankful for the sacrifice and gift He gave me…yet I don’t do my part. Ugh. So frustrating and upsetting to think about. I guess I need to get frustrated and upset. Maybe I will do something about it. I think that is part of the reason I chose to be a teacher. I was called to it. I do not doubt that. I love teaching for many reasons. One of those reasons is that I get to be around young adults everyday that I can be a stable influence on. In the classroom I try very hard to be positive and show them that I have an enormous amount of joy. If they see something totally different in me, maybe they will get curious and that can lead to conversations. It is my way of sharing Christ with people. BUT that should not be my only way. I should do it EVERYWHERE I go. I should seek those opportunities instead of hoping they smack right into me.
My Bible verse I am memorizing is Romans 5:1 “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” The entire chapter of Romans 5 is wonderful. About faith and struggles. I recommend you reading it…especially if you are needing some encouragement. I like this verse because it reminds me that when I mess up, I am still justified. I have my faith. I will mess up and I will be far from perfect. Even though all of that happens, I still have my faith which means I have justification and peace through Jesus Christ. Isn’t my Jesus WONDERFUL!!
I completed my application for the job and mailed it today. Makes me nervous. I know God’s will will be done. The waiting is the hard part though. I just want to know yes or no. It could be a month or so though and patience is not my strong quality. Maybe that is one reason why this came along. Gotta learn some patience and put it into practice!
Hope you are having a great week. Kids are back in school which is probably a relief for all of you parents. Tired of being stuck at home! Sad we missed the basketball games last night but I heard we got wins for the varsity squads, so that is good. County Tournament
