updates, anyone?
as you tell i've been slacking on this whole blog thing...i think that fairly sums up that my second year of teaching has been much more hectic/stressful than first year. these past few weeks have been the most burdensome, but i don't know why...i find myself despairing in the middle of a lovely day, often without prompting. i feel so insufficient and overwhelmed by my situation, with no solution but to work harder. i know that solution will only make the situation more unbearable and will set myself up for failure, but it seems much harder to give my burdens over to the Lord. unreasonable, i know...my foolish heart would rather rely on worldly endeavors to solve problems, than turn them over to the Lord of hosts. pray for revelation and change of heart...

don't despair, melissa!! i went through a pretty miserable slump last week and this week - as well as the week(s) just prior to the christmas break... i feel like i'm finally coming out of it - june is in sight! :P there's nothing wrong with working hard (at least you know you've given it everything you've got) - but it's ok to take a break - you need to - otherwise you'll burn out. (i know you know it - but you need to put it into practice!) - but i feel your frustration- i'm struggling too. second year teaching isn't all that it's cracked up to be! :P but i've received assurances that the third year is a cakewalk! i hope they're right! love you! we need to catch up soon! have a fantastic weekend!
