Teaching

"A good teacher is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater."  -Gail Godwin

I have my one-fourth preparation to complete and email my principal this weekend.  Sigh...writing your own quality curriculum is hard work.  However, aligning objectives to national standards,  setting up modifications for special education students & English language learners while planning lessons develops my talents as an educator.  Someday I would like to write curriculum professionally.  

God has promised to help me as I follow him, and I trust he will give me the drive and perseverance to complete all I must this weekend.  I feel weak- all I want to do is relax and recover from a demanding school week, but I know that my students need me to be ready for them.  God will give me the strength to keep on working, the courage to tackle intimidating tasks, and the wisdom to keep myself from procrastinating.  I choose to live courageously and optimistically. 

Life is about how you face the circumstances, not about what circumstances you find. 

Psalm 27:3
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear.  Though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. 

"The God who spoke still speaks.  He comes into our world.  He comes into your world.  He comes to do what you can't."  -Max Lucado
