It has been quite a while since my last post and much has
happened during that time. Since my last
post, five of the medium termers have gone home, which makes base a much
quieter place. We’ve also had several more weeks of school and as Pre-School teachers we are beginning to see the fruit of
our hard labor (and it is hard!). Children
who knew almost nothing just eight weeks ago, now know basic shapes, colors,
numbers and the beginnings of phonic sounds.
It’s amazing! And I’m very proud
of God’s babies that I have the privilege of having in my class!! (Even if I get annoyed beyond all reason with
them on most days). Not only are they
learning, but their overall classroom behavior is improving. Praise God!
I’ve also stepped down from children’s church on Sundays, which gives me
a nice break from being in charge of children.
On base, we had such a nice weekend last week, where six of us sat down
for three nights in a row to watch the Lord of the Rings movies. I haven’t laughed so hard since leaving home
and it was refreshing to be in the company of friends for such a long
time. And yes, I did say we laughed, I’m
afraid that Lord of the Rings will never be the same for me. So as I continue to walk on this epic journey
called life, I’m thankful for the reminder of Samwise which paraphrased goes
something like this, “The people of the great stories, they had many
opportunities to quit. But they
didn’t. They pressed through, because
they had hope, hope that there is something worth fighting for, some good in
this world.” I bid you good night my
dear friends and remind you to press on, because there is Someone worth
fighting for, and He has already won. :)
Grace and Peace,
Rose
