LAST WEEKEND

This was my last weekend before school starts! I actually went to work for alittle while on Sat. so I could get a day off in Feb.
My school had a pack prowl for the 9th graders to get familiar with the school. From 12-6 I was in charge of 15 9th graders and we played all kinds of "fun" games. I was so tired when I left. I am excited about teaching 9th graders but I need to pray for PATIENCE! I am not the most patient person and you have to be with this age group. Please pray that I can manage my classes because I am starting to get just alittle nervous about this year.

After the pack prowl, I got home around 6:15 and we decided to go eat. After dinner, Sally and I wanted to go shopping so we did for alittle while and then we came home. I was asleep by 10:30! Sally calls me old because I go to bed so early, but I can't help it. :) I wish I had as much energy as Sally does now. I miss those teenage years of being able to stay up late and get up without any problems!

Today Patrick and I taught Sunday School and it was a really hard lesson for me. We are watching videos and the video we got was on how to deal with the lose of a loved one. The speaker in the video lost a friend in a car accident. For those of you don't know my best friend, Manfred, was killed in a car accident when I was a senior in high school, so this lesson was kinda hard. At first I did not want to teach it, but it really worked out because I was able to share how God helped me through the tough times and how I can continue on with my life because I know I will see him again. In the video it talks about how Jesus wept, so it is ok for us to grieve as well. If we do not properly grieve then it is hard to go on with our lives. It has taken a long time to properly grieve my Mimi and Manfred, but I feel that I am better each day with dealing with their deaths. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to teach this lesson because I learned alot out of it! :)

This last weekend has been tiring but a very nice one! I have enjoyed spending time with my family! :) I hope my last two days are just as much fun!
