The past two weeks have been overwhelmingly full of exhaustion, more work than I may have ever done in my life, meetings, prayer, tears, frustration, hope, dedication, resolve, strength, weakness, behavior plans, parent conferences, and more...
In last night's Esther Bible study video, there was a quote that said one of the toughest things about being a woman is feeling like you're too much and not enough all at the same time.
I think that's part of the reason why I tried to take some time off from blogging. Because I've been struggling with being not enough in my classroom, I've realized that my emotions and over-analysis of everything are just too much...
While today wasn't too terrible, my daily circumstances aren't very likely to change in the next four months, so I'm not sure how often I'll be blogging anymore.
When I started this, it was to share my journey; to document adventures; and to reflect on global missions and the ways the Lord is working here in Honduras.
I know He's still working, but my missionary adventures have settled down and become much more like the struggle of everyday life as an elementary school teacher. That just doesn't seem fun to document. At the end of the day, I now prefer to just let it all go than to hold onto it and spread it around...
On the bright side, we're half-way through with February! And today, I helped a kid understand the word "slobber." Oh the joys of teaching second language learners.
