We're all in this together...

In the world I teach in, I am bombarded with High School Musical Music. For those of you without kids, it's a movie on Disney Channel that has taken over the Elementary School I teach at. Last year we even had a High School Musical Fifth Grade program. It was a hoot.

So, within the High School Musical Movie and Soundtrack is a song titled, "We're All In this Together." I love the song. It is a motivational, pop, happy kind of song. Typically I listen to Christian music, but this song has gripped me.

And the more I've pondered it, the more I realize it has taken on more of a part of me than a song. I've come to realize that I love the song because it reminds me that we are all on this planet TOGETHER. Not one of us was fashioned to walk out our existence here on Earth alone.

Most of you are probably thinking that I'm referring to God, and while He is the primary focus of my life, I am beginning to understand the impact PEOPLE have made on my life, and continue to make on my life. In the past week I have been challenged in ways I can't even begin to explain in words, but I have been inspired by the people in my life who see me as God does and push me forward with words of encouragement and kindness. And even as I have shared my weaknesses that I'm not proud of, I have been in awe of how others have helped me to see the good in me and helped me to focus on what's important.

I am so very thankful for each person who has prayed for me this week and has shown me that we really are in this together.

What a great way to start Spring Break...

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER...

Later!
