Glorious Day

The reality of my internship ending finally hit me this week. I am really excited about graduating and getting my teaching license, but I honestly do not know how I am going to say good bye to Mrs. Rooney and the students I have been working with this semester. I absolutely dread my last day. I am praying now that God would prepare my heart for that day. I had a melt down the other night. I started picturing their smiles and the funny things the kids do and I lost it. I am going to miss them so much. I just never thought I could love a group of students the way I love them. I know this is something I will have to get used to every year...saying good bye to one class and welcoming a new one. Children are so special. Their smiles can make my bad day an awesome day! I am so thankful that God placed me at Guy-Perkins with Mrs. Rooney and her class. It has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life!

Matthew 18:1-4 says:

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said, 'I tell you the truth unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.' "

Kids are a special gift from God and I am so thankful that I get to work with them everyday!

This has nothing to do with kids, but have you heard the song Glorious Day by Casting Crowns? It is an awesome song! Here are the lyrics:

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine

I tear up every time I hear this song. This song is such a great reminder of God's love.

I hope you are having a great week!!
