A few weeks ago I was on the phone with my mom. And can I just stop and take a minute to tell you what an awesome lady she is. She is always there with some brilliant advice or sweet encouragement exactly when I need it. And she is still always willing to edit papers for me. I don't know how anyone else gets by in life without a brilliant grammar teacher for a mom. She's the best.
Anyway, we were on the phone and we were talking about how, due to the recent budget cuts in education, pretty much every district across the state is having to lay off teachers or shift teachers around. Which is the most frightening thing to me, considering I'm an education major hoping to have a teaching job in two years.. with pretty much no back-up plan. yikes. Anyway, my mom was talking to me about that happening within her school district and she said the phrase,
"you've got to bloom where your planted"
she gets it. so of course it got me thinking.. we're not always gonna be dealt the greatest hand in life. So far, I've been so blessed to live where I live, go to school where I do, and know the people I know. But life isn't always a cake walk. But the way you handle your struggles is what's key.
I mentioned a couple weeks ago how I've been really praying for God to just send me somewhere. And that's still my prayer. For God just to use me for His glory. It doesn't matter where I am, as long as I can make the best of my situation and be a light for Him.
I'm really applying this to this up coming summer. I'm SO excited about my internship at Bammel and I'm just praying that God will be able to use me to bring him the glory.
so that's it for tonight. I'm off to do homework and play Dr. Roommate for Morgan- she's not feeling so hot! :(
xoxo
