That surging feeling of joy and satisfaction in moments of being able to see growth from year one of teaching to year two
report card revision rather than writing and formatting from scratch
slightly more organization
less fear of taking on problems and
brainstorming solutions
a bigger arsenal of knowledge to turn to
a mind open to imperfections and
the beauty in ever-changing and evolving plans
the ability to breathe,
take and break
into manageable and achievable little mounds to get to mountain tops.
Letting God take control of a situation after He's given me an abundance of proof that I can't do it alone
the best option isn't the easy one
but the right course immediately bringing peace
the words my heart needs and
words to shut my mind off
joy replacing frustration, anxiety
being able to sleep once more
The little things in life that bring laughter
things heard and remembered
unbeknownst to them and
what's meant to be heard
that make me smile and
chases away obligation
opening the view of the blessing
the treasure of the hours within
the four walls with them
Because just like Moses and the Israelites wandering in the desert on the way to the Promised Land
whining about the lack of food and water but
being answered with sweet manna and water from a rock and a stick
or
like Naomi and Ruth being left on their own in a culture dependent on men as the workers but
with a need to eat
finding relief in gathering wheat and a generous farmer
God provides.
