walking next to you...

week one has passed and what a week it was. i am still feeling a little bit exhausted and i am about to start another one:) but it is important that you understand that i enjoyed every moment of my tiresome week. being back in the classroom, meeting new students, seeing old students. all of it so wonderful:) christmas time was wonderful. there is nothing i would change about it, nothing. i was able to be with the people i love most in this world and well, if that isn't amazing...i think i might not understand the meaning of amazing if that isn't amazing:) my loved tank was overfilled and that is so good. i don't usually refer to anything as a love tank but what the heck. i was able to record one of the loveliest albums during my break. something that turned out so lovely and something that has begun one inspirational journey. it was just a beautiful time.

i must say however, it is so nice to be here again. i missed the place, the faces, all of it. and to be here again, it is quite nice, refreshing. i loved being in my classroom and students stopping in to say hello. i love preparing for my school days. i love being a part of mosaic. i love all of it. oh how my Father is faithful, amen:) i love being with chloe and toby. even though chloe is dreadful sometimes, i love her. this week, she gave me a fright and i hated it so much. i accidently smashed her tail in the door and i cried. she was just a disaster but rest assured, her tail is on the mend and will have a full recovery....phew! toby, he is just calm and there. chloe, she is crazy:) i like them both very much.

this past week has been so crazy but so exciting. so many good things are here and so many good things are to come! this weekend especially. i was on duty and i got to spend a lot of time with students. that also allowed for some wonderfully exciting skype dates since i was here all weekend. i am sitting in the gym currently watching students play basketball....and i think some of the boys are lifting a lot of weights or something because the weight room is loud.

tomorrow begins a new day but i am enjoying today. it's the little things, you know. the little things that make up our days. and we have to enjoy them and be grateful. it is the third week of this year. my third week as a prisoner of hope. cheers to this new year, this new week, this day. how good it is to be alive, to be loved, to be able to love, and so on and so on. more to come:)
