Prayers

Thanks so much for keeping me in your thoughts, prayers, hearts, etc.! I really appreciate you all and am so blessed to have your support. 

Here are some specific prayer requests I'm facing from the first month:

• Patience and wisdom in discipline... As Naty the principal reminds us "those who need love the most will ask for it in the most unloving ways." I've found this very true in my classroom. I still haven't found the right balance between stern-firm-enforcer and kind-calm-nurturer. 

• Positivity... I've started to focus on the wrong things lately. 

• Trusting God to handle the future... Though my job just started, it's already time to figure out what I'm going to do in June when the school year ends. 

Praises:

Aside from the daily joys and special occasions...

2 friends from Hope were both miraculously saved from recent car accidents! God's hand very clearly visible in both cases. 

My friend Katy made it to buenos aires safe and sound! She begins her yearlong around the world trip and she's started off in the right blistered foot.
