Another Blow to the Moses Mindset

God continues to squash my Moses mentality every day that I'm here. You know, those doubts that try to talk me out of feeling okay here, that try to make me feel like I should just pack up, move home, and stay inside my comfort zone.

Today the Moses mindset started with being nervous about going to a new church by myself. This is actually the first time I've had to do that. But I got there and saw the teacher I'm replacing along with her granddaughter, who will be in my class this year. I was greeted by two big hugs and smiles, and there went a little bit more of that Moses mindset.

Up went my excitement factor for meeting my students.

Tomorrow's another first: a meeting with a student's parent. I'm fervently praying for wisdom, words, and peace. First impressions are intimidating. And then it's onward with the classroom prep...yikes. One step at a time.

Okay, time to switch gears to that photo challenge again.
