It's Hump Day!

I'm assuming of course that you know what Hump Day is?!?!? For those of you who may not, Hump Day is another name for Wednesday. It acknowledges the fact of having arrived at the middle of the week and just getting over the "hump" of the week. Thursday begins the slide down. For me, tomorrow's slide down includes the big bog of Parent Teacher Conferences! Ahhh! This will be a first for me and I'm a little nervous... you know... biting my nails... stuff like that. :) However, things are going very well in classes and most of the students are doing well too so I don't anticipate any major issues.

I don't know how many of you have been praying for my little Preschool guy, Danny, but he is doing so much better. I thank the Lord for the improvements he's making. He's beginning to speak to me more and more in English and he is obeying really well these days. My new little guy, Isaac, is a gem too. He still speaks mostly in Spanish, but when he wants to get my attention he'll say "Profi" and then jabber off. I love it! As a whole the Pre-K classes have been a learning ground for myself as well as for the kids.

Junior High classes are going well too. The more I prepare for a class the more excited I am about teaching! Acknowledging the Lord... whether it be through showing His Sovereignty in the forming of the United States as we know it today or in comparing the needs of our Spiritual lives to the needs of our physical... is very important to me. My desire is to challenge their hearts as well as their heads.

Hi, Melissa

I enjoyed reading your blog, which I just found. I'm praying for you and for the kids, as well.

Do you mind if I add your blog to my links (on my blog)?

John Mark isn't doing so good right now, but the rest of us are OK... for the time being.
