ShoesDay #6

Hello June 15th! I am writing this post at 2:25 this morning. Why you might ask? Well, I just got off work. I had to help make Victoria's Secret look all pretty for the big sale that starts today. I am quite tired, but I am past the point of noticing it and I quite hyper. Listening to a some Usher (You Got It Bad). Random, I know.

Unfortunately, this is going to have to be a short post because I have so much to do. I say that now and will probably end up writing just as much as I normally do. When I am not babysitting, I am working at VS. When I am not babysitting or working at VS, I am studying for Biology or Astronomy. So that is pretty much what this week will look like for me. So pray that do not lose my head this week and will be able to make it through and still get somewhat of a decent amount of sleep.

Shoes #7

These are my black and brown close-toed shoes with a slight heel. I call them my "teacher" shoes. I mean, they look a little teacher-ish. Especially the brown ones. I wear them in the winter time with my nice pair of knee-high pantyhose. Yep. I admit it: I wear pantyhose. No one seems to wear them anymore but they keep my feet warm (slightly). I would get made fun of in high school about it. Didn't bother me because I really didn't care. Anyways, going on from that sidenote. While I only consider these two pairs to be my "teacher" shoes, I am sure I will be accumulating more over the years.

To most it is quite well-known that I want to pursue a career in teaching. Always have since I was a little girl. How could I be interested in working with kids when I was a kid myself? I really don't know the answer to when I first wanted to become a teacher, but God planted that seed in my life and I am choosing to follow it. 

In these shoes, I have worked with Special Needs, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fifth grade, and seventh grade. I have traveled the hallways of many schools; all which have the essence of knowledge being explored by the youth. It is crazy to think that I could be teaching two years from now when I graduate. It seems so close. So real. I really hope to make a difference. I know that is so typical for future and present teachers to say, but it is true. What can I, as a teacher, pass on to my students that will have a lasting and positive impact? What can I teach them that will be useful after the school year is over?

We are all called to be teachers in some way or another. In ANYTHING we do, we are showing others how to do something or maybe just being an example to others. God teaches us every day about Himself or teaches us about ourselves. Revealing to us how we so desperately need Him in our lives. He teaches us through our heartaches and failures how to let go and let Him do the work.

So what are you teaching others? What has God been recently teaching you? I would love to hear your responses, so please share!

Have a great week. Love you all!
