God does Work.
It's been awhile but here are some blessings in my life lately:
-Being invited to two Lakota ceremonies by a local family
-Getting a package from my parents today which included cookies from my dad and silly song cd's from my mom for my kids
-Getting an email from a student's parent which said, " Abby, I know that this is your first year teaching kindergarten, and I know that dealing with my son has taught you a lot this year especially as your first year, but I wanted to say thank you for all that you do." It's amazing how a year long struggle can be so prosperous. This is why I am here.
-After getting this email, one of my kids came over during nap time, put his head on my lap and promptly fell asleep for a whole 25 minutes
-Getting an email from camp saying thanks for donating money to a scholarship camper and being able to express how much I love Camp T
-Truly intentional talks with people in my community that make my heart happy
The last month I've realized more and more how God has shown himself in my life. I have people that truly and deeply care about my well being. My kids talk about God a lot and it's amazing how beautiful our "God talks" continue to be. One of the student's parents invited me to be a part of a local Lakota ceremony this weekend. I'm excited to get myself out of my comfort zone and explore the Lakota culture. Camp has come back into my life with completing my application for my fourth summer and being able to help send a child to camp for the first year ever. In that way my life has come full circle. I continue to be amazed at how fruitful my life here as a single person has become. This semester so far has brought healing, a new confidence in my abilities, and my love for teaching constantly growing until I think that I will burst.
