How has it been almost 4 months since I have sat down here... oh wow. Student teaching absolutely consumed my life. But in all honesty, I was exactly where God wanted me to be. And I am absolutely blessed.
I am done student teaching! Yeah. It's sort of bitter sweet. At the end, I just wanted to be done. But now I want to go back. As frustrated as those 13 boys and girls would make me, I am somehow drawn back to them. I know that I can never go back, so I am thankful for the time I had with them.
I had a very specific word over student teaching. And it was to pursue a family that I have become friends with. I have fallen for them, but more for the fact that they are real people. How many of us are real? How many of us wear our hearts on our sleeves? How many of us love the best we know how and give everything we have to the people around us? I am blessed to know people who do.
The scripture I got for this season is this: "May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you." - 1 Thessalonians 3:12
My prayer is that whenever I'm with people, they would know that they are loved. I pray they would think, either consciously, or subconsciously, that they were loved. And they were loved well. I feel like I'm in a season where I have the opportunity to love well. I have the grace to extend love to the most unlikely of people. And so that is my goal. To love well.
I want my love to increase and overflow.
