Back to school… or not
It’s the first September in sixteen years that I haven’t been starting school again. I miss the nostalgia a little. I always loved going back to school. As Tom Hanks’ character says in the movie You’ve Got Mail, “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.”
Be that as it may, I am still getting a taste of the “back-to-school” feeling, since I am working as an assistant teacher at a daycare, in a preschool-age class. It is a little different to be passing out coloring sheets and helping four-year-olds write their names, instead of sorting through syllabi and plowing through hundreds of pages of reading. In fact, it’s kind of nice.
I’m not quite sure what to do next job-wise. I’d appreciate your prayers about that if you think of it. Otherwise, I hope that those of you who are actually going back to school find it an enjoyable and productive season!
“Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart.”
(Psalm 119:111)
Hey Anna! Am praying for you for your job situation. I hope you are doing well – I also miss you!
I love that back-to-school feeling! I’ve been out of school for 3 years, but I still get a thrill out of assigning myself self-study projects when September rolls around. Maybe it’s from being homeschooled – “learning is a life-long-adventure!” 
I’ll definetly pray for you! I know how tough it is to find a new job.
I know exactly what you mean… I always loved going back to school as well.
I will remember to pray for your job situation. Hope you are doing well.
You must live north of us. In Georgia school starts in the very beginning of August.
Kayla and Emily, I miss you too! That is sweet!
Stephanie, I think you’re right.
Courtney and Kaysie, thank you so much for your prayers.
Ali, that’s crazy early!

I miss you
