Preaching and teaching, that's what we do...

I have 3 more months of teaching left. It feels like 3 months will be forever. I have noticed lately that my heart is already at home. I wake up each morning and pray: "Lord, help me enjoy this day in Bovina and delight myself in You today. Help me to enjoy my students and teaching still." I am so ready to start nesting and being a mother. Although, I will admit I am somewhat nervous, I am more eager than anything! I have to remind myself to be content in the circumstances that are present and not hope in the future, because if the Lord wills I will do this and that...and only if He wills. I trust in His soverignty and goodness, knowing that today is what He has given me and for today I will work unto Him and for his names sake, that I may be used in this moment to bring Him glory and shine His brillant light to these students and co-workers He has put me with day after day. May I not just endure these next 3 months, but enjoy them knowing I'm doing the Lord's will.

Tyler, on the other hand, can't get enough of preaching and sermon prep. He LOVES preaching through Mark and is learning so much himself. I am so proud of him. May the students that hear him hear the Lord's word and the gospel so clearly, and may the word be real to them in their hearts and draw them to Christ.
