Well. It's official. At school my name is no longer "Lauren" or "Miss Lauren" or "Ted" or any other inappropriate name some people like to call me. My name is now, "Miss Teddy." Kinda weird. Kinda grown up. I'm kinda caught off guard when students refer to me as Miss Teddy. I guess I have to get used to it!
Today was my third day of student teaching. I am so thankful. I really am so thankful. My teacher is beyond wonderful and the 4th graders are just cool. I feel like they are getting to know me and feel more comfortable around me which makes my heart happy. For instance, today one of the girls asked me if I would show her how to wear her headband like I wear mine. My heart about melted. She is sweet and loves all things girly. Another boy asked me to help him with his math...and then when I finished helping him he told me thank you! Seeing these kids light up with joy when they figure out the right answer to something is amazing. Don't make fun of me but...my eyes started tearing up when I was helping one of the students. I was sitting next to him, looking at him as if I was looking at Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is so evident in these students. They are awesome. The power of the Holy Spirit within them is awesome. My prayer is that I would love these students with a heart as close to the Lord's as possible. Lord help me to press into your guidance and direction throughout the school day. I pray every pat on the back or high five given to these students would be filled with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Lord fill that 4th grade classroom. Lord fill that sweet school! Overpower that school with Your Love, Your perfect, flawless, powerful Love. Let it be.
Things I loved about today:
1. My teacher begins the day with her own moment of silence :) This is going to happen in my classroom...mark my words.
2. After lunch students are to sit down - heads down - eyes and mouths shut. She does this to give them a chance to calm down and get ready to learn for the rest of the day.
3. One of the girls asked me to sit with her at lunch today, so sweet.
4. We had a 2 hour delay because of the weather, therefore, I spent a good hour or so in the Word, praying, enjoying His presence. So thankful.
