ABC Order

 All I know right now is that school has started, and I feel at peace, probably for the First August Ever. It must be a God thing because, honestly? I can't explain it. This year, I have The Inclusion Class which means any student with Special Needs is included in my room. It has been amazing (so far) but I thought it was going to be a disaster disguised as a job.

....Apraxia....Autism....Battens.....Cancer....Dyslexia....

The list goes on.

I used to go home and cry because I was frustrated but now I go home and cry because I am sad.

But then God constantly reminds me that "Everything I do, I do because I love you."

So I have to go to school and talk to Nick's imaginary friends and help a visually-impaired kiddo find his locker and remember that God's same promise is true for those kids, too.

Because this is my job and because this is the internet, I have to be oh-so-careful about what goes on here.

Work/Sex/Love/Marriage

I realize the older I get, the more cards I have to keep close to my chest which you and I both know I have never been very good at.

But I will tell you that the experience so far has been amazing. I feel like [these kids] are bringing me back to the real reason why I started teaching and I honestly haven't felt that way since I worked in California which leaves me thinking that maybe this is God's way of giving me a colder version of The West Coast.

Who knows, but I do hope it lasts for a long, long time.

Here's to Noel The Kind and Scarlett The Wonder Hound

Good to hear that life is going well.  I understand what you mean about keeping the cards close to your chest as you get older.  I've always wondered what that meant when Jesus said to be like little children.  They are total blabbermouths, but mostly because they say what they feel when they feel it.  How does a cool, calm, collected (My! We adults certainly like our "c" adjectives, don't we? :) adult do that?  Good thing I'm not a grown-up or else I'd have to start working on that. :)

As always, please write a book. :)  Maybe just a chapter a day...or a week....or at least giving me the promise that you'll give it some serious thought in a couple of years.  Seriously.
