"Time heals all things."
We have all heard the saying. I am sure that at some point in time, I have said this to someone that was hurting. Tonight, I stopped and asked myself if this statement is really true. I have to be honest and say NO. After a pretty rough week, I finally realized my problem. I am in my annual depression. My father died around this time 18 years ago. Seriously, 18 years has passed and I find myself sobbing as if I were 7 again. Does it ever get easier? I have come along way since that time but healing is a process. It is not instant and I am not sure that the process is ever complete. I have a wonderful Dad, who has been there for everything along the way and I am grateful for all that he has done and continues to do. I just can't help but to feel an empty spot in my heart this time of year. I count heavily on God's grace to pull me through!
I miss you and love you, dad!

Student Teaching
This last week has been exhausting, yet so very rewarding...exciting and scary...rich with information and confusing. The funny thing about it...I LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!!
I began my student teaching experience this week. I am in 4th grade Communication Arts. At first, I was not sure if it would be a good fit for me since I have never been a huge reader and really didn't enjoy writing either. Much to my surprise, it is a PERFECT fit! I have always felt that God called me to teach and this week, those thoughts were confirmed. This is where God wants me and the peace and drive that comes with that is unbelievable.
I came home every night, mentally and physically exhausted but I longed for the next day! I miss the additional time at home with my girls but they love being watched by their MiMa (Nick's mom). Ally asks, everyday, "Mommy, what did you do today at your student teaching?" I LOVE our conversations about the day! My husband and I have more to talk about than just his work and the girls, which is a little refreshing!
I had such an amazing week and even though I know there will be bad days, I know that God has called me to do this job and he will be there every step of the way!
