Nothing like a song on the radio to remind you of the Truth. I've been debating in my mind for awhile whether or not I should write a post. (It has been awhile since I've done so) So much has changed since then. Little did I know when my Birthday brought me closer to 30(😯) that so much would happen in the first month after. Life and school as I knew it has changed drasticially. (not only for me but the world)
In the middle of this all, with the News (and many other voices) saying so many things that sometimes it makes my head spin in trying to comprehend it all, I've found the peace of knowing that God is still working all things together for good. That I don't need to live in fear, (whether it's fear of me contracting Covid-19 or even worse giving it to someone else) because our lives, time of our death whether by the virus or something else has already been decided by my Heavenly Father and I can trust Him. I've been praying for awhile and asking God to prepare me, so that I could prepare my students for what is to come. [a pandemic never entered my mind] Yet I see how He has been faithful in doing in that, and how He calms my anxious thoughts about what is to come. Yes, so much seems uncertain, so much more could change, yet a part of me is excited to be a part of these times.
Although Church has been different, I've still been greatly blessed and challenged by God's truth that is being shared despite not being together in person. (Thank-you Marty & Lori, and Trenton for sharing in song & word God's truth last Sunday)
The verse:
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
keeps coming to mind and I love how even though we may not be in large groups these days Jesus is still in our midst. How awesome is that? Yes, I am looking forward to the day when I can see everyone again in person. =)
School has taken on a new "look" these days, yet I'm grateful for technology and the way to still stay connected that way. I never would have dreamed that I'd come to teach in an empty classroom. So here's to learning how to be a teacher in 2020. 😊
There's a lot more I could ramble on about but I think I'll close with this. To my brothers and sisters across the 🌍 ya'll are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace in these times. Keep the faith.
til next time, Ms. Rhonda
