1/2 way there and 1 Corinthiians 10:13

I can not believe tomorrow I start student teaching in the second grade at a new school with a new teacher! Last Friday was bittersweet in so many ways. I loved being at the preschool. I had to hold back tears as I had to say "good-bye" to the little ones. I did get some cute pictures. I really had a good experience and I learned alot. I just hope and pray the next half goes just as well. My stomach has been in knots all weekend thinking about this change. *sigh* I do know one thing...I will have more work to do. I may not be blogging much for the next few months. We'll see.

I found some profound words in the Magnif.icat. This is dated Oct 27th.
"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you will be able to bear it."

I was in complete awe with those words. They sound like they were written for me. Did God make me a teacher so I could bear my barren womb? I know it's helped.

I know I never mentioned this but at the preschool where I was student teaching there were a few pregnant teachers there and boy did I hear the pregnancy talk (I think I learned a few things). I didn't tell you that the teacher I was working with had a miscarriage while I was working with her....I had to manage the class. She had to have emergency lap surg and her left tube was taken..it was a tubal pregnancy. She has three older children and was not expecting another baby. She was thankful I was there to teach so she could rest. There's another pg teacher who is going to have a baby girl that will need a few surgeries on her heart. Money was collected to help her with the expenses. The other teacher is due at the end of Oct. She had such a round ball in front of her...a few times I just had to pat her belly ( I know this teacher so I could that.). I couldn't have done that a year ago. I've come a long way!

I guess I've learned not to let IF get the better of me..prayer has helped...God has given me strength. I feel blessed. I've come to realize and accept God's plan for me. I'm busy now...busy with the Lord's work and taking care of His children in a way I think is best for me.

God Bless you all.

As a side note...my dh and I are going to stay with the adoption agency that we are with now. We are happy with our lives and are enjoying ourselves. However we feel like we shouldn't shut the door on adoption. We feel it's best we leave that door open. We don't want to switch agencies and go through all of the paperwork again or pay for another home study...we're going to let God decide if or when our family will grow. I can honestly say...It's in His hands.
