so to satisfy your longing for a new post here goes:
March 3, 2015- the eighth month of my freshmen year, the eleventh month of my walk with God, and almost the midterm mark of my second semester. Life is a whirlwind. I am enjoying my life here in wilmington and begging God to go ahead and bring me back the beautiful weather I so love. It has been frigid here, but none of the beautiful snow that those back home are experiencing. I have half a week until spring break and I absolutely can not wait! As it turns out, I am not going to be going on any big adventures for the week but I think God knows exactly what I need and a low-key, relaxing week back home is probably just what the doctor ordered for me. I am overjoyed to get to spend the week with my family- especially my brother who has the same break as me!
alright, alright enough intro and I'll get down to the big stuff:
I started teaching at a middle school. I work in a poetry program through one of my classes here at uncw. I have two students that I am required to fool into thinking that I know even the slightest thing about writing poetry (which is kind of a stretch for me). It has been quite an adventure. They are very sweet and I couldn't have asked for better students, but I am trying to figure out if this is what I want to do. It can be really, really intimidating. This is the class that people usually figure out if they love or hate teaching and I am still floating somewhere out there trying to tell which one I'm feeling. But I am so grateful for the opportunity to see! These are my students:
aren't they precious?
secondly:
I have been reading secure in heart and realized just what a mess I am. A crazy, confused, emotional, insecure mess but its OK! do you hear me? I said that I am OK being the hot mess I am. Or at least I'm starting to get there. I have the most amazing life and even if sometimes it couldn't be further from where I pictured it being, it is exactly what I need. I am learning so much about myself and some things I'm proud of and others not so much, but I'm learning that both aspects of my character are invaluable to my growth as a disciple.
What else is going on in my life?
Well spring break is in THREE DAYS and I could not be happier (unless of course it was supposed to be warm), but I get to spend a week at home and I am ecstatic!
Well wilmington is treating me well and I am looking forward to being home for a week. If there is anything you guys (is there a you guys?) want to hear about let me know and I'm happy to share anything!
Love you and can't wait to be back in a couple days!
Dreaming of spring break,
