I have to admit that it has been a very discouraging past week and into this week...not going to go into the details why--but have been pretty discouraged. This morning, before my students came in I was even crying...the smiling teacher who always smiles, and laughs, and gives hugs was crying....the teacher who loves being with her kids wanted to go home and crawl back under her blankets...the teacher who loves her job thought...well lets not go there. I have to admit that through some situations going on at the moment I haven't complety nor fully relied on God or really looked to Him with what has been going on. I have been fighting...and that fight has exhausted me--I came home yesterday and slept for two hours after work.
But this morning, even before the tears, I was remided of something by this little brownish creature with long legs...it was a frog. Okay so frogs are not my favorite creatures in the world--they are cute but cuter in box and not near me. =) Even yesterday I think the Lord was trying to tell me something through seven or eight frogs I saw but if course my stubborn self was too caught up in my problems. But again this morning I saw this one little lone frog jumping across the parking lot (let me back up I haven't had a car for almost two weeks so I have been taking a short walk to school each moring--I have seen some amazing sunsets, felt the crisp fall air, and yesterday saw some frogs--been complaining about the whole walking to work thing but if I had my car I wouldn't have seen the frogs). But the frogs taught me a lesson that at the moment I am trying to grasp. In the situation going on in my life that is causing discourgement and frustration---God is still in control. He still loves me and He will work it out for good. He knew that this would happen before time began. He knew I would be discouraged and frustrated. He knows that everything will work out when in my mind they seem like they won't. All I need to do is Fully Rely On God (FROG). So that is my simple little reminder from a bunch of frogs jumping around on the church steps. =)
