Everyone in Huntingdon has been wonderful. I had Inservice yesterday...had lunch with some of my new co-workers...put up a little stuff in my classroom. I am getting in gear for a great year in 4th grade. I miss my friends in Martin but I am certain that I am doing exactly what I am supposed to do. That does not mean it will happen tear-free. I knew yesterday that I was on the verge of a day to cry things out.
I have shared on numerous occasions about my sometimes crippling fear of the unknown. Who wouldn't choose the path of comfort if it was just about us in this life? SO, I gave in to my emotions today and have cried about everything in the last 37 years there is for me to cry about. At this present moment I am better. But, I cannot promise in the next few minutes it won't strike me again.
I think it is healthy to finally take a moment and let yourself FEEL. Usually, I am just too busy to let myself go there because I have Chloe Jo to tend to or kids at school to teach. But on rare occasion I just let it all out. I sat out in the swing earlier and felt the breeze hitting my face. It was a reminder that change comes and goes just that quick...if you look at the BIG picture.
Change makes us grow. Change forces us to refine our skills. Change helps us to see all that we are blessed with. Change can also bring trials. Change is inevitable. It is something I am not so good with but am open to giving it my best shot. Change makes me cry out to Jesus...and helps me regain focus in my life. Isn't it amazing what God can say through a breeze on a hot summer day?
I have some photos from other friends on facebook to brighten you up on this, what appears to be, gloomy afternoon. Even though I hear thunder in the distance, I am counting my blessings, friends. Love you all:)
