After sitting through meetings all day long I am anxious to begin student teaching. This is what I'm doing. This is where I am. A senior and about to begin student teaching. WHAT?! I can remember being little, playing in my room, teaching my stuffed animals that were seated neatly on my carpet...and now...I'm a real teacher. What the heck? Time has flown.
I will be the first to admit that I am a little bit scared, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed. This is a new season and I am excited to learn. I know God is going to teach me each day to rely on His strength, to cast all my burdens on Him, to dwell at His feet, to enjoy Who He is. Who is HE? He is good. He is perfect. He is a comforter. He is a TEACHER. He is a TEACHER and I am a student. "Isn't that ironic, don't ya think?" Ironic, yet way cool. I am a student to a Teacher who can do immeasurably more than I could ever in a million years ask. He allows me to speak directly to Him. What a privilege, what an honor!! I am overwhelmed at the thought of knowing that a God who created the universe and numbered the stars allows me to talk directly to Him. What would it look like if my thoughts, my actions, were aligned with the Holy Spirit. Lord I ask to be more like You. I ask that you would change any offensive way in me so that I may become more like You. I want to be aligned with Your perspective, Your Holy Spirit. I pray for discipline, patience, and obedience to You. I pray to daily take up Your cross to serve You. I pray to spread Your Glory, somehow, to all I come in contact with. I pray to rely constantly on You, to press in for more of Your Presence.
Most of all I pray my students now, and in the future, would always see You in my heart. ALWAYS. I pray You would use the heck out of me. Lord that I would be so quick to answer You, to be so obedient to Your lead. Lord, here I am, please use me now and forever more.
I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20
