blessings.

woah. when business takes over...blog is the first thing to be left by the wayside. i am being serious when i say that 20 minutes ago, i meant to start writing this blog...now here it is 20 minutes later...and i am just on the 2nd sentence.

i have come to learn, that God has blessed me with innumerable things in my life. i mean, seriously, we could all complain about the economy being ridiculous or how tired we are or how life isn't fair...but how many times do those things seem so insignificant compared to all the blessings we have in life.

i think i take a lot of things for granted in life. today i was in my classroom telling two kids to share a toy, while i was changing a diaper, and i realized that there is more to life. those kids have become my life. i know that sounds funny, weird even, but i spend most of my days thinking of ways to teach them. today i found great satisfaction and joy in the fact that they could name a handful of fruits, colors, and recognize their name (granted they are 2...and thats a little advanced). a little girl in my class said to me today "i love God! and Jesus too!" seriously, could there be anything more rewarding?? i don't think so....not in a million years.

so, anyways, God blessed me with these kids and their parents, and the gift of teaching. i am so so so blessed to have the job i do and while i am in this place, at this moment, i will make the most of it. no matter what i'm waiting on, i need to remember to be aware of the blessings in life.

i may not be rich, or gorgeous, or famous, but i am rich in the blessings God has poured out. hmm...wow.
