October 28 – “She has plans”

The soon-to-be headmaster Mick came by today.  I went over everything I could think of, including the most recent crises.  First, the math teacher has to decide on which job offer he will take out in the "real world" right away.  He basically gave his two weeks' notice.  Second, I told him about the PE teacher and what I am doing to fill in that blank right now.  His answer was, "Don't worry about it.  We'll figure something out.  God has somebody out there for us.  And I can teach math until we get someone else."  Great answer.  I was a little encouraged.   Jen made a 100 on an algebra quiz.  She hasn't been doing too well, so she was very excited.   The students have a Big English deal tomorrow in the study circle.  They are going to edit each other's autobiography.  Right after lunch in what has become everyone's study period on Tuesday and Thursday, all of the high school students are going to gather around and hear each other present the story of their life.  Then they will critique them so they can be rewritten.  The kids have been using the computers all week to type their papers for English.  I can't wait to hear what they have come up with.   We have two more students starting Monday.  It's a brother-sister combo.  The girl is in sixth and the guy is in seventh.  The guy's name is Kelly.  Great name.  The middle school teacher seems excited to have some more students.   Chris has plans now for her shelf.  It's more than lines on paper.  Now the lines have numbers next to them showing lengths and widths.  It's still not a 3 Dimensional drawing, though.  So it's still not really real.  Maybe I won't have to help build it if it stays just the plans.  On the other hand, it's a really good idea for that space.  We need a place to put toys and crafts and sewing stuff.   1 Timothy 4:7-8 says, "Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."   Father, help me to see training for godliness as just as much fun as old wives tales.  Amen.
