Man, this was one rough week... BUT I'm keeping my head up and looking forward to new and better days. Tomorrow is fall break, Mondays off are always a positive! 5 weeks until Hawaii vacay and a whole week of down time with my awesome husband, and 4 weeks until the Avett Brothers. Lots of fun times to look forward too and most importantly being blessed daily with a wonderful husband and amazingly supportive family and friends.
Life is too short to forget about what really matters and what is really important. I often get bogged down by the unimportant things that I forget to sit back and take inventory of my blessings and the love and support in my life. One day this week when I was feeling down, God put a thought into my head. He reminded me of all of my past worries and he showed me how he took care of ALL of those things. It might not have been on my time, but everything has worked out just the way it was meant to be. Why do I have such a hard time accepting this and taking comfort in the facts. I am a SERIOUS worry wart and control freak... this often causes me way to much anxiety. One of my favorite quotes (shared with me a couple of years ago by my mother) says "Anxiety is an unproductive activity. It doesn't accomplish anything positive. Give your worries to God." I give way to much of my time to anxiety. This quote helps to remind me to snap out of it.
Here is to new beginnings! Brandon is taking classes to get his alternate route teaching license. I am very happy for him and look forward to his new career changes. Brandon loves cooking but he feels it has come time to only use his wonderful talents on myself and a few other lucky people. He will have a license to teach 7-12 grade social studies. I think he will really enjoy it and be great with his students. The alternate route program seems to be swift and easily obtainable. The first part of the program is to take an online class for the next 8 weeks and to complete 60 hours of observations. The second part of the program will be getting an "internship" position, basically finding a teaching position for one semester and then getting his license. Yay! :)
