Its been a while since I've been on this page.
This year has def been once again unexpected, full of surprises and weird.
I have become a teacher. Its a cool, exhausting job. When I first started i freaked out and i still do but at the beginning i thought o my gosh if being a teacher is hard imagine being a mom!! but now its been almost 4 months since i've had my job and to be honest.....I love it and the more i see my kids and how much they learn in lil time and how amazing they are, the more i want to be a mom someday :)
Today I was reading a blog about seasons and how God uses every season in our life for a reason. I dont think, well actually i have thought about it, but i dont think now that God doesnt have a purpose for having me here in Colombia still. My life has maybe not been exactly what i had planned or what I wanted but when i sit and think about the plans i had.....they would've prob not turned out to be the best and only God knows what I would've become. I am thankful that even though im not always super excited about where i am in life right now, i am at a place where i can say God is real to me and life is real. I've had the chance to meet amazing people here this year, i have met amazing kids who have thought me a lot, for starters, being a teacher has showned me that its more about academical stuff, being a teacher is serious stuff, i dont think many teachers realize that you see the kids every day and you become their "mom" at school. The first time my kids called me mom i freaked out and they (7 years old) explained to me that i am practically like their mom at school, being a mom its not just giving birth its also raising a kid, making sure that you are a positive influence in their lives as much as possible....it means actually caring for them, not just doing my job but making sure they know that me, their teacher cares deeply about them.
Most of the kids that have issues,it's because somehow something is wrong at their homes. Kids tells everything.....they are not afraid to share their feelings and they are not embarrased to tell the truth. I wounder at what age we all become so afraid of the world and accepting what happens to us.
I love my second graders because everyday its a new challenge with them, it has really made me think a lot about what I want to do with the rest of my life. I want to invest on people, i want to make sure that all the kids understand that even if things arent perfect at home, they have a daddy in heaven who loves them.
the best thing about everyday at school is praying with my kids before class starts.
Where i work is a catholic school....but my kids have learned to pray to God and know that God lives in them and they know that he protects us and loves us! they even pray before having lunch :)
anyways I have really thought about my future and what I want. I want to be with kids, i want to help kids understand who God is! I would love to be with kids in a school teaching them but i would also love to be with teenagers and even adults at church to share with them the love of God, the unfailing love! I want to be there for people i want them to see that there is really Hope out there! Ther is so much in my ♥ right now but i cant share it all on here....i cant wait to just go away with God and talk to him, i cant wait to also one day get married and share everything with the one im meant to be and then have lil precious kids running around the house :)
yes im crazy :)
