I have spent the past two days in a completely new building in the same district I've taught in for the past ten years, and LOVE it! While I miss my close friends at work, I am really enjoying something new. The building is beautiful, and I am in a classroom with windows, which is AWESOME!
I am REALLY enjoying the kids too. Their stories are gut-wrenching, honestly, but I know that God has put me in their lives for this Summer. As one student said, "I'm going through a lot right now," and I said, "I know, that's why I'm here!" Which was what I really believe.
I had forgotten how much I have to "train" students and staff about my limp, as everyone knows me in my old school. I have given my "I was born with CP" speech MANY times, and the kids are doing the usual "Cool" routine. One boy looked at me today after I said the speech and said, "That's okay, I take medicine for ADHD." Leave it to a kid to make a correlation between CP and ADHD. :-)
Only bummer to all of this is that my free time with SingingGal has been incredibly limited compared to what we had previously planned, but we're shooting for a trip to IHOP next weekend. :-) God is going to give us time together before I leave...I just know it!
As usual...
Life.
Is.
Good.
