long overdue

I realize every once and a while how bad I am at blogging. How many times I start these posts with apologies for being so overdue. However, I write a lot of posts in my mind, so you all should subscribe to that and maybe you would hear more about this crazy life of mine. 

All that being said, and that fact that you can't actually subscribe to my mind it is probably time for a bit of an update on my life here. Well I am now a full time intern here at the preschool for a month and I am loving it. I teach kindergarten, and my kids are incredible. At only 5 years old they know the Lord, and love listening to God our Father. Some of the quite times I have had with them they hear and see the most beautiful things from the Lord. They are learning their alphabet and numbers as most 5 years olds, but are incredibly smart and are excelling. I know I am biased, but they are the best kindergarten class ever. For the first time in my life getting up at 5:30 am everyday is worth it to spend time with those kiddos. 

The Lord has been challenging me and growing me so much throughout this time as well. I am working lots at least 10 and a half hours a day 5 or 6 days a week.but as a result I have learned time management, perseverance, and diligence in my work. I have learned you can never prep too much, but you definitely can be way less prepared than you think you are. I learned how valuable these children are and how that makes me want to be a better teacher to give them what they deserve and more. I have learned patience, when I have explained something 5 times and they still do the exact opposite that you say. And I have learned that is what I do to the Lord so often. He tells me something again and again, but I just continue to fail. Yet His grace is never ending, so I as a teacher as role model must act in the same spirit. 
I have learned the beauty in innocence, as my little girls hide behind me when we watched Stuart Little, because they didn't want to see Stuart get lost. I have learned immense creativity when they can make up elaborate games with simply a stick.

this post is short and I promise to write another one soon hopefully with some funny stories from class, because I have so many of them. However, for now I just wanted to simply post saying I am so happy and loving what I am doing.  Life is good, exciting, busy, and splendid. Thank you for the prayers, and please keep them coming. See you in a month and a half Langley!
