Update

As promised, here is Macie in her adorable bumble bee costume that she HATES! It's just so precious:



Also, before I forget, please go watch Fireproof. Seriously, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. If you don't have the money, let me know and I'll pay for it. It's really that important. Justin and I started The Love Dare this week (from the movie), and it is phenomenal. It focuses on having the marriage that God intended you to have, one day at a time. Lifeway has the book for $10... and it's worth every penny.
Switching gears now: I finished fifth grade. On my last day, I made 40+ muffins and took them in for my homeroom for breakfast. The kids were so grateful and loved getting to eat breakfast together! I even had one student who prayed silently before he ate. Without anyone telling or reminding him to do so. It was one of the sweetest and most innocent things I have ever seen. The kids made me cards and brought me small gifts, insisting that I not forget them. Like I could! I really, really miss them.
So, I started student teaching in kindergarten on Monday, and it is a huge adjustment! The kids are tiny, and they are so cute. The things they say are so sweet... I had one child who was coughing and holding her throat becuase her dad "just forgot to take her tonsils out." It was adorable! I am loving kindergarten, especially all the hugs and hand-holding. They are so dependant, and I love being loved and needed. So, I have decided that I just love children of all ages, and I want to teach them. Any age, any grade (in elementary, of course). I'm excited to see what the future holds!
Speaking of the future, please be in prayer for me and the job hunt. I'm not sure what to do or where to look... I don't know where God wants me, but He does. I'm just trying to be patient as I wait to see where He is leading. Pray that I have ample patience and confidence that God will provide... Jehovah Jireh is one of His many names, after all.

Hey,
Got your voice mail but wanted to tell you here that someone has been placed in that for 3rd. Boo. If something changes, I'll keep you posted though. Mayfield is losing a 5th grade teacher in January. You might want to take a resume there...
