Another Monday...


Ok, so tomorrow starts not only another day, but another week. I must say the weekend has been long enough for me to begin missing the kids from school. Yes, I know hard to believe that someone could really miss lippy, rude, stabbing pencils in their heads kids, but I do.

I don't know how many people, if any at all, will read this post, but I would like to know: Was there a teacher that made a difference in your life? I really only had one teacher from K-10th grade, and while she was a wonderful mom and teacher, I must say there was one teacher that truly made the greatest impact on my life. It was a teacher that made me love being in her classroom. She actually wasn't really even my teacher, but she let me visit her classroom. She was a Kindergarden teacher in MI. She invited me to her classroom. I couldn't tell you what we did if you held a gun to my head, however, I can tell you that I will never forget how she cared about me indevidually, she wanted to teach me more about Christ and His love for me, and how she let each and every student know she loved what she did. There is not really anything that I can put my finger on from that short time in her classroom (probably only a day or so) but every time I think about how long the school day is, or how much I wish I were some place else, I remember her. Because of one lady, I am teaching today. She impacted me and I am impacting 20 lost students. Who will you impact today. We've all heard this more times that we can count but it's so true: Someone is watching you today, are you helping them to grow closer to Christ or pulling them away?

Let Christ be seen through us all as we begin a new week in service for His glory and not our own.

There was a Kindergarten teacher that touched my life...but she wasn't my teacher. I was in ninth grade, but she taught K5 at my school, and she had such a good testimony and she was such a good friend. She would invite me over to her house just to hang out. We made snowflakes that year together. And she made wild rice. Funny that I remember that meal... Anyway, she was such a godly example to me and I'm so glad that I was able to know Laura Sumlin.

Yeah, um, I was homeschooled K-12. I had one teacher that really made an impact on my life. No, seriously, she did. I'm so glad she taught me both good sudy habits and the more important issue--how important it is to please God.
