... instead she is doing this
... and that (playing babies)!
It has always been our rule that once we put Curtis and Cadence in bed, they have to stay in their rooms. They do have a nightlight which allows them to look at books or play quietly in the beds. However, Cadie is definitely toeing the line... but that would be what my "Rebel" Cadie!
When Daddy goes up to tell her that she is being to loud, and needs to go to sleep she flashes that pretty smile... and soon is working the system!
… is now how I will be referred to! As a para I was Ms. Kim, but I am taking off my para hat and putting on a teacher! Yesterday I met my cooperating teacher, she is wonderful. She is younger than I am, very peppy and seems very smart with electronics. She will require that I write my lesson plans to incorporate the Mimio board, but assures me that she will teach me how to use it! Melissa also gave me a tour of the building I will be student-teaching in, and I was able to meet the principal and see "our" room!
Friday I will report to Amelia Earhart at 7:30 a.m. to carpool with the other 1st grade teacher to all all day Goddard in-service. I am super excited and super anxious, this is my first in-service as a "teacher".. I’m almost done!
Brett and teaching our children to pray.. we pray before we eat, we pray before we leave the garage to drive somewhere, and we pray as family before bedtime. But it dawned on me that I wasn’t do a very good job of teaching Curt to just talk to God!
Tonight after our normal bedtime routine which consists of baths, bible time (which is a story or a short VegiTale devo), one last trip to the bathroom and finally bed. After my shower and going back into check night lights Curt was still awake. He had a flashlight and a book that he had received from his Grandma Cindy for Easter, it was of the crucifixion and resurrection. He looked at me and asked, "Can we pray to God anytime we want, or just before we go to sleep or eat?"
We had a nice conversation about how we should "pray without ceasing" which may have been a little over his head, but I never cease to be amazed at the questions that come from this sweet child. Praying that I shepherd his heart in the right direction, he is a pretty amazing child.
After hearing an exert from this book at church on Sunday I decided I needed to read it. I bought it Monday evening and finished it this afternoon. I was not disappointed, and you won’t be either!
Heaven IS for real, I sure hope to see you there!
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
“To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
*Our weakness not only helps develop Christian character; it also deepens our worship, because in admitting our weakness, we affirm God’s strength. After opening my husbands facebook page today (to find an email address) I immediately see a sonogram picture of an 8-10 week old baby.. at first I let Satan use that, but am choosing Christ’s strength instead. Hope that someone else will receive encouragement from 2 Corinthians, just as I did! My character is being molded for His greatness.
Monday, August 1st my nephew Levi turned FOUR! We met them for pizza in Goddard and then went bowling in Cheney!
After some "rest time" at our own homes, everyone came over to our house for fajitas and cupcakes! (and of course a few more presents)
It’s back to work next week ;( We (Kristin and I) have really enjoyed our summer! Luckily we have the best of both worlds!
