today.

so today was the day i started school and the kiddies came to work for the first time and let me tell you...its nothing i expected it would be at all. today i did a lot of sitting and listening and today i also did a lot of yelling and standing. its confusing i know. i get to school at 8 a.m. i wait about an hour and the girl that i will be working with while at school comes. so now we both wait...and wait...and wait some more. are teacher never shows up. how stupid right? yes right! but it was also okay because i got to know this girl pretty well. she is clearly not a christian but how cool is it that reglion got brought up. not only in front of her but her and two other girls. it was awesome. and the best part is it all started with me showing them the tattoo i want.

my tattoo comes from psalm 42 and when they found that out they asked if i was a christian. my response was yes. so they asked the church i went to and a few other question. then one of the girls started telling me how she didn't know if there was a God and she doesn't believe in church. well i then got to tell them what i believe and how incredible God is and it was really cool because by the end of it they were saying how cool it was that i was so strong in my faith. i thought it was a pretty great compliment that a non believer could see that in me. it made me pretty excited to say the least. i am also pretty excited that i get to share the love of Jesus with them for the next 8 mouths. so pray for me.

now on to work. i was so scared about today. i wasn't nervous or anything until i went to training for the past 2 weeks. and man the scared me to death. but i had to suck it up and do it. so i get there today ready as i will ever be. so finally my little kiddies arrive and then all the craziness began. i have about 15 little ones that are k-1st grade. so there was a lot of yelling going on. i had some that were so precious that didn't say a word the entire time. some that wouldn't shut up. and some that were just weird. but despite all of that i know God has placed me there for a reason and i know i am suppose to love on those kids because i know they don't get the love that they need at home. its pitiful but I'm glad i will be the one who has an honor to do it instead.

so that was my very new day. and now its time for bed because 6:45 am gets here really fast. so goodnight all. i will talk to you again soon.
