What a week!

So I'm a little late with this post, because I am actually referring to last week, but better late than never, I guess!

The first week back from a break always seems more hectic than the rest... even more so for me, since I'm getting into the busy time of year, getting ready for Showfest.  What also made last week hectic was the fact that I decided to tell my students about my plans.  I wasn't sure what was going to happen when I told them, but I knew that it was time.  I had been becoming increasingly worried about what my future had in store for me, and I  was beginning to feel like I had said anything to my students/colleagues because I was afraid things might not work out.  But I finally "came to my senses" so to speak, and realized that the best thing to do was to let go, and let God take care of things.  It hasn't exactly been the easiest thing in the world, but I know it was the right thing to do.  And my students took it really well, too! My favorite question I got was "does this mean you get to wear the pointy hat?"

My whole life recently seems to be an exercise in learning to trust God.  I'm realizing more and more each day that I can't do this on my own.  I try to go it alone, and I end up crying to God when I'm at the breaking point, because I realize that I need his help.  Hopefully I can keep that knowledge always at the front of my mind, and keep God at the center of my life, and not get distracted by all the temptations that I know I will encounter in my day to day life.
