Sorry it has taken me so long to actually post this.. I was looking through my drafts and came across this and just never got around to posting, so enjoy! :)
To say that I'm blessed is such an understatement! I'm so so so happy with life! I've been happier this summer than I have ever. I think that I enjoyed it because there was not a single free moment. I had prayed that the Lord would consume with people that needed me so that my mind could not wonder to the stresses of going to school, leaving friends, family, etc. He pulled through by blessing me and allowing me to spend my days with the sweetest 12 little boys!
Working at a summer school for special education students brightens and warms my heart more than I can express through words alone. I wish saying that they were a handful could accurately describe half the situations that would go on in our little 10x12 classroom. They have their own schedule, their own idea of right and wrong, and their own plans. They've taught me the true meaning of patience!
These little friends and all the ones that I have met along the way have radically changed me. I believe that Jesus put them into my life to show me what His love is like. I had prayed and prayed to know His love. Christ's unconditional love is something that has always been so hard for me to grasp and fully understand but I feel as though I understand a fraction of His love after meeting my friends. They have taught me the meaning of love, joy, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control and much, much more. As I went into this summer experience, I thought I was going to help teach the students and they were going to leave at the end of the summer genius, but in the real scheme of things I left learning so much more! I love that each are so different and unique. God's children are so perfect!
