today

I have quickly realized that teachers complain a lot. I've also noticed, sadly, that I've started to join in on the complaining. It's very weird to me to think about complaining about the job I've been praying to get for over a year...but, yep, here I am, the sinful complainer.
At first, I was really good because it was still very fresh on my mind as to the incredible blessing it was to simply have a full time job. Teachers would complain and I would just simply respond with a story about how as a missionary I made less than $20 thousand a year and that this last year I was working two jobs and couldn't even afford to live on my own as a 30-year old with a college degree. Man, last year sucked...just thought I'd throw that in there...
So, as I promised, here is another update. I'm a sinner. I complain and fall into the trap of being one of 'those' teachers. I just hope I quickly am able to get out of it. I'll update you and let you know soon!
Enjoy this picture of my family in the meantime. These were taken by Kelly Hornberger (www.kellyhornberger.com/blog). She's incredible. You should check out her pics.
