November

I can't believe we had to turn the calendar to November already. As I look ahead it becomes apparent that it will be a very busy month. - CTBS Testing, Report Cards, Parent/Teacher interviews, Winterfest, JKCSS membership meeting, Book Fair, Remembrance Day, PA Day, PD Day, Sponsor a Laptop, and ? This list doesn't even cover the busyness in the classroom or all the family/friend/church commitments that are scheduled this month. It all seems so overwhelming and I need to stop and think about what is most important. I need to commit all these things to the Lord. I need to pray to God to lead me this month and to ask Him to give me the strength to accomplish all that is before me. I need to remember that God has a plan and that I do not need to worry. He gives me what I stand in need of. God cares for me and loves me.

Today I will change the calendar in my classroom and we will look ahead at all the events scheduled for November and I will be able to share with them what I was feeling and thinking when I turned my calendar. I am so grateful that I am able to express my faith to my students and lead them in their walk with God.
