One more precious week...

Next Monday is D-day. Noah and I went into my classroom this morning to get a few more things done. I needed to start on the name tags for my kids' desks. Got a lot done, but Kyle and I are going back tonight to finish it up. Then we are going for ice cream in Melrose. They will probably be closing up shop soon and want to take advantage of that excuse to get ice cream!
Yesterday was a great day. We decided to visit Latty for the day. I wanted to see some of my students, and just visit another church. Wonderful preachers, both from Detriot. Really had a blessed day. Noah had a slight cold, and so did I, but we managed to enjoy ourselves and the company. Sermons always encourage me to be better and to never stop living for Christ. Even though it feels like what I do will never be enough for what Jesus did for me, I in some small way try to do my best to live a Christian life. Some things I learned or remember from the sermons were about suffering in this life. Christians are suffering more than we realize on a daily basis. It's hard to make the right decisions amongst all this sin in the world. But God says he will not give us more than we are able to handle. Plus, a good point brought up, how to know if you are really at peace with God? Ask yourself, are you scared to die? If you died right now would you be scared? If you are, you need to repent and make things right with God. If you are not, then you are at peace with him. Makes it pretty simple to think about.
Could it be any more gorgeous outside?! Fall is by far my favorite season and today reminds me that it's just around the corner. I. Can't. Wait. Even though fall brings school, it still is a great time of year. I love cool weather. I find it amazing the way the seasons change at just the right time. God is in control all the time whether people choose to pay attention to Him or not. He knows what's best all the time. Isn't that comforting?
We don't have much going on this week. Going to my best friend's house tomorrow just to visit before my life turns into a whirlwind of busy-ness. Laundry and church Wednesday. Helping my aunt Sheryl move and having a birthday party for my mom, Kim, and sister-in-law, Jen. I don't want to rush the week, but I love family get togethers. Have a great rest of your day and week! God bless!
