Hey y'all! Short Post, just really quickly wanted to update y'all since it's been a while.
This semester is shaping up to be a fun, exciting, busy semester.
First of all, I just want to give ALL the glory to God. When He shows up, He shows out, y'all! First, I got paired with an amazing girl to go out into the schools with this semester. She is so kind and we get along so well! I'm excited to spend the semester with her. Second, Nathan and I have been having to work so hard to keep our relationship strong because we've both been so busy. He recently got a new full-time job, so he works 8-5. Whereas, with me, I have class 8a - 8p on Mondays and Wednesdays and 8a-12n on Fridays. So we don't have nearly as much time to spend with each other as we used to and it's been difficult but we're working on it! Third, we're pretty sure Nathan is about to get a promotion at this new job. I don't want to say too much and jinx it, but it's truly nothing but God. We've been so frustrated with his/our situation, but I have to remind myself that His timing is perfect. He has Nathan exactly where He wants him. He knows exactly what He's doing and why the situation is like it is. God laughs at the plans we have for ourselves. It's difficult to be in the situation that Nathan is in, but I have total faith in God, that He's gonna work it out and we're gonna be happy. If we're not happy, it's not the end. I just truly have to sit back and praise Him sometimes. He's just putting everything in place for his future, for mine. (And maybe even our future together, but lets not get too ahead of ourselves ;) haha)
Second, I've started taking all my Teacher Education classes to learn how to teach. This past Wednesday I had my first in-classroom experience. I got to observe my mentor teacher and even got to work with the students! It was very interesting experience. I was nervous and anxious and excited all at the same time. I loved it! I'll write more about that later, though!
Lastly, I've moved rooms so I'm out of that volatile situation. I'm so much happier here with these three new girls than I was with the one I considered a friend. These three girls have been so kind and welcoming to me. The ONLY problem I have encountered so far is that one of them likes to turn the a/c up to 79 degrees at night. I wake up in a sweat. But other than that, they have been great! No signs of crazy! :)
More Later,
Lauren <3 :)
