I learned a lot from Summer School

Today was the last day of Summer School, yippee! I really did enjoy my stint on the administration part of things. I know that the job I did really was nothing in comparison to what happens during the regular school year, but nonetheless I learned a lot. I learned a lot about the behind the scenes working of a school, but I also learned a lot about me. Had you asked me 10 years ago if I would have ever tried my hand at something like this I would have said absolutely not... had you asked me 20 years ago if I would become a teacher I would have said no way... had you asked me only 5 years ago if I would be the single mom to two 4 year olds I would have said impossible. I am so glad that God has gently guided me in directions that I would never have dreamed possible. I just didn't have the confidence in myself. But, come to think of it confidence in myself probably wasn't going to get me far... it was all by faith in God that these "accomplishments" came to be. In Ephesians 3:20 God says that He is able to immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine... and that is certainly true in my life.

Ephesians 3:20-21
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

I am glad that summer school went so well especially after the hard school year that you had. This next year is going to be GREAT!

I think it is great that you have had these experiences. I wonder what you will be looking back on in another 20 years! ;)
