Exams are graded.
Final grades are proofed.
The classroom is clean enough.
The kids are gone.
I am free!
I should be using this time wisely by planning for next semester, but I just don't want to think about school right now.
So how about a joke...
How do Guatemalan sheep say Merry Christmas?
Fleece Navidad!
I am so thankful for this semester. I am still amazed that right now I have the privilege of living in Guatemala, teaching at IAS, and so much more. I am very blessed! I don't deserve to be here, but this is where God has me right now. I am praying that when I am back in the States for Christmas, I am not praised for what I've been doing. I am sure people will want to hear stories and updates, which I want to tell! But I also want friends and family to know that I am not doing anything special. I am teaching kids in a different country. My life here has become routine and comfortable. And yet, every day is a crazy adventure, because I serve a radical God. Life with Him is different and unordinary, as it should be! Often I crave adventures. Yet this semester I have learned that no matter where I am or what I'm doing, as long as I am following God's lead, life with Him will be an adventure!
On another note, we are losing the current 5th grade teacher and computer teachers. So, if you want to join me here after Christmas, let me know, and I can get you the info!
