Five Minute Friday: New

What a week it has been---and for that I am happy its  Friday and happy its Five Minute Friday----and the topic goes perfectly with what my week has been like (its has been a good week).


I am not a person who likes change...well not too much change. I like for things to stay the way they are. The Lord knew I needed to go through some changes in my life....some new things ahead of me. First, a roommate. I have lived by myself for three year. One person in a house is nice...a roommate would be even nicer....This week I got a roommate. I am learning how to live with someone, and share a home with someone. It is taking some adusting, but I am thankful for this opportunity the Lord has given me. Second, a new school year--well preparing for a new school year. I just love the smell of new books, freshly sharpened pencils, erasers, and my favorite are new crayons. I am teaching a "new" grade---K5 (I have taught it before (once) but after K4 its a little new for me). I will also be getting some new students. Through these new  things going on in my life I hope and pray that I handle them the way God wants me to---

Five Minute Friday: Whole

I am just sitting down to write....I have felt under the weather the past week---nasty sinus infection (which is not fun to have after nose surgery).
The first thing that came to my mind when I read the word "whole" was my season of singleness. This past week at work I had a co-worker ask me why I wasn't married yet....and she was surprised I didn't have a "few kids" by now because I am a nurture. When people ask me this at times I feel empty then go through the emotions of wanting to be married and have a man love me...I think "woe is me others are getting married what about me." But then I really think....marriage does not make me whole. I am whole just the way I am....because I am whole with Christ. With Christ He is all I need. I do not need a boyfriend or a husband to make me complete--Christ completes me.
