Fasting...

Hey I'm going to stop all Internet connections between me and, well, the Internet; for three months. (Untill September 17,) I'll only be checking my emails. I don't know if I'll make an exception for blogger later on; but for now I'm going to stop. (This has nothing to do with my early post about stopping my blog; I just need to spend more time with God.) My verse of the Week and QS will continue to be posted though. (I scheduled them)

See you in three months, (if not sooner.)

My First Day of Teaching!

Loved! Loved teaching! My students are amazing and adorable! I love it! Although it is definitely a new challenge. Today I finished my third class; but sadly forgot the camera; I would say today was the best day so far...We made our first craft (a paper crown made out of a paper plate.) The pictures below are from my first class...

An adorable little girl! (One of my youngest)

Another student...(Also one of my youngest)

This is my youngest student. (Along with me; and my very burnt skin...Spent 4 hours on the back of a truck coming home from the refugee camp...Not one of my best ideas.)

 Getting ready...

 Their first lesson...

My chalk board...(We are in the process of teaching them "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in the depths of my heart."

 After class snack

 Look-I-like back packs and uniforms.

 Teaching is an adventure that I'm glade my God is with me to help me along. Because even though I love teaching; it presents new challenges everyday. After all 22 students; a little Thai = Challenge. But Challenge + Faith + My God = Awesome experiences!

I'll be posting more of my lessons in the future.

Teaching!!!

Please pray for me today as I prepare my lessons for my first teaching job. Yes. I will be teaching at a PUBLIC school English. All I know is that I will have 20 students; from the ages 3-6. I know, I know, THREE year olds. But you would be surprised; they send there kids to school really early. the 3 year olds are learning the ENGLISH alphabet.
My class starts at 10 and goes until 11 Monday evening(your time-PA) This is something new to me and I'm going to need a lot of prayers. I also have a REALLY bad sun burn; I mean REALLY bad. It hurts to move. (We picked up Annie at the Refugee Camp; and I was sitting on the back of the truck for three hours; and let's just say that wasn't such a good idea.) So please pray for that as well.
Thanks so much! I'll let you know how it goes...

Music!!!

Hey I've been thinking of all the songs in the world. All the songs I want to post, and so I decided I'm going to post a lot of songs in the next month or so. (I'm going to schedule them so that I can do it all in the next couple of days; but they'll just keep showing up; that way it doesn't take up to much of my time.) And I would love to know of any singers or bands or songs that you love. :)

Please Pray With Me

       I am praying and asking God what he wants me to do. And I'm asking that you please pray with me too.
"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints." - Ephesians 6:18
      I have an opportunity to teach English in three different Thai schools. And I don't even know if I want to teach.
      Even though I love to teach(at least I love to teach Abby) My dad thinks it's my gift(and I have been asking God to show me my gift) and I know the Lord could use me. It's just that I've never taught at a school, or anything even close to this!
      Please pray that God will give me wisdom, "If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." - James 1:5. And that he will give me a clear sign that this is his will. And that teaching is my gift. (I have to decide soon)

Thanks,

~Sarah
