I am still alive!!

I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update, but things have been beyond crazy to say in the least!! Let me being by saying that my plans aren't always the Lord's plans....but thank goodness, because he knows so much more than I do about my future!! It has become so evident to me over the last four weeks, that WCS is where I was meant to be. I have 27 of the most adorable little 2nd graders. Of course, I am blessed to be in a smaller school, so I get my students 14 and 13 at a time. If you're a teacher...you know how big of a blessing this is!! My life has been a literal whirlwind since school has started, but frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way! The Lord has been so sweet to give me peace in the last month. I really struggled with being here at the beginning, but I am 100% confident now that I am where God needed me this year. I love my school, my coworkers, and my students....ya'll they have to be the most adorable little children!! For all of my folks back home, you will be pleased to know that my students say ROLL TIDE very well....and with a cute southern accent too!!! We have had so much fun in Ms. Borden's room in the last 4 weeks! I have made so many sweet friends with some girls my age that I work with. If you know me at all, this is a big deal!!:) Several of the families at Westbury have adopted me into their family, and so I am staying busy and entertained!! We have parent meeting night this Thursday, and I am so excited about this! I am honestly in awe of God's providence as I read my last post. I remember being so self conscience about being a first year teacher, but the Lord has been so faithful to build be up with confidence. Please continue to pray as I am still settling into my new life here! I still miss my family and friends back home like nobodies business!!! But I also have a peace that passes understanding in knowing that no matter how tough it is being here, I am where God intended for me to be...I don't think life gets any better than that...fulfilling a purpose you were meant to fulfill...so blessed, and so thankful to have you all in my life!!!
Until next time...
