The End to My Hiatus...

I know it has been awhile since I have posted, but to be completely honest my life has been in some sort of a whirlwind lately. I absolutely LOVE my job as a teacher to the most precious fourth graders!!! I know God perfectly hand picked each and every child that I teach! I LOVE my new school! I LOVE my new coworkers! I LOVE my new administrators! I LOVE teaching so close to home! I LOVE the brand new beautiful school building I am blessed to teach in! I LOVE having Carson at school with me! I LOVE seeing the excitement of learning in Carson's eyes each and every afternoon when I pick him up from the car line! But despite all of the things I LOVE, my body is physically REJECTING my new life. By three o'clock every day, my body and mind begin winding down very quickly. After much prayer, I have decided to begin physical therapy yet again! I thought after an entire summer of therapy three times per week, that I was "healed". I guess I could say I was "healed" when I could lay down whenever I chose to, sit whenever I chose to, and my brain didn't have to fully function for seven to eight hours a day! And...I sure wasn't reponsible for forty-three children! I had my first therapy session last night. Since I have decided to return to therapy, I had to find a facility that provided evening/night therapy. I loved my new therapist. After my initial assessments last night, I quickly learned that my body is NOT in good shape. The therapist told me that it would be at least three months before I would be "feeling" better. I struggled with the decision to return to therapy because it would take away from what little time I have for my own two precious children in the afternoons/evenings. God had other plans for me though. Yesterday, on the day I was to begin my therapy again my daily devotion said,

Accept each day exactly as it comes to you. By that, I mean not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust Me absolutely , resting in My sovereignty and faithfulness.

On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem far greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives- giving up or relying on Me. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, I wil not reject you. You can turn to Me at any point, and I will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. I will infuse My strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust Me, by relying on My empowering Presence.

Psalm 42:5; Corinthians 13:4; Jeremiah 31:25

God is GOOD all the time! All the time God is GOOD! I know that He is still working his miracles in my life. I am turning it all over to Him. I look forward to the progress He has in store for me physically.
