Every day I am just overwhelmed at how much God is working in my life and all the lives around me! Let me paint a little picture for you... I work at a school filled with people who are just on fire for the Lord! At staff meetings, we spend the first 30 minutes at least just praising and worshiping together, and man can these people sing. I feel like I'm back in the Alma Choir sometimes! We pray often for each other and for our school. And not only with each other, but with and for our students! It's incredibly refreshing to be able to pray with my students and teach them about God. And often times I feel like they are teaching me more with their strong spirits. They are constantly finding the connections to God in my lessons and they love learning more about Him! The other day one of my little girls came in and recited the entire Psalm 23 in front of the whole class. And when she got stuck on one part, another student started reciting that part until she remembered and told the rest.
But not only are they knowledgable, but they are just so full of His love! They are always quick to hug and comfort a crying classmate. And after one student fell off the monkey bars and got pretty scrapped up and shaken up, they all just wanted to pray for her and for God to heal her.
One last story and a huge example of how God's love knows no boundaries, I have two ESL students, one from Korea who speaks some English and one from Bolivia who speaks almost no English. They can't talk to each other pretty much at all, but they have become best friends! They just hold hands and run around and play together at recess. They can't speak the same language and yet they learned to not only get along, but absolutely love each other.
God is so good!
