Wednesdays can be a bit long. It is the middle of the week, we have staff meeting at 7:30, school is delayed by 30 minutes, Cat's Pride further interrupts an already screwy schedule, students are restless, I often go straight from work to church and end up at home around nine...
However, yesterday was not a typical Wednesday though. Yes, we had our staff meeting. Yes, we had Cat's Pride. Yes, the kids were restless. BUT I got to watch history with my seventh period. We watched the new pope announcement. And celebrated first new world Pope and the first Franciscan pope! I love history. I especially love watching history unfold before my hands. This alone would have made for a pretty good day.
Yet, that barely scratches the surface of things to be thankful and excited about. I went to Praise Band practice, which is always kind of fun. Then it was time for Bible Study (and to be honest the actual study hurt me deeply but that is for another day). At then end though, Amy put all the attention on me and my new house and to my UTTER surprise they were throwing me a house warming shower. I have never felt so loved and supported. I am more than overwhelmed by the people God brought together to bless me in so many ways. Their generosity is FAR beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I can't believe so many people (some of whom barely know me) would go to such great links to ensure I have the things I need to make my apartment into my home.
I think Amy put it best, "Being witness to God's people coming together
in support of the good/bad of a persons life, being HIS hands &
feet, showing unconditional love and support....life-changing!"
Thank you, Jen, Aimee, Marsha, Karen, Leona, Linda, Teri, Amy, Cindi, Jaimie, Alyssa, Jenny, Katie, and Lori. (Sorry if I left anyone out!!) What a great Wednesday!
