1. I am currently Student Teaching in Second Grade then Kindergarten in public schools until May 8. My Second Grade class is such a group of ambitious learners! I am excited to begin teaching them this week! On May 11, 2013 I will get to walk across the graduation stage and receive my Degree in Elementary Education.
2. I am also currently planning our wedding that is just three short weeks after graduation. What was I thinking?! Things are slowly coming together for this, but honestly I have no time to plan it during Student Teaching. Just the little things here-and-there. In the end, I will be married to my best friend and God will be honored at our wedding. That's all I wish for.
3. After the Big Day, Ryan and I will be moving to Des Moines, Iowa where we will begin our journey together. Ryan hopes to get a ministry position while I get my Master's Degree online. My wish is to be an Autistic Specialist in the public school systems in Des Moines. We are overjoyed to see where God might take both of us!
As I sit here, I can't help but think back to the past year that God has allowed me to experience. The roller-coaster that I have been on for the past fourteen months have taught me more about myself and how God is slowly molding me into the woman He has created me to be. All too often I find myself saying, "Why did you make me like this?" to my Creator. I have no right to state this. I am humbled at the fact that God has placed circumstances in my life so that I can draw closer to Him. Looking back during the first few months of this time, I played on repeat Beautiful Things by Gungor. If I could claim any song to be "mine", this would be the one. What grace God has given me with each new morning. Just as the song states: God makes me new and is making me new. Enjoy!
