His Grace overflows :)



Today, I was thinking about how good the Lord has been.
He has been extremely good, but He has been that much more gracious in the things that I do: teach.

I've been hearing parents and various people telling me that they were thankful to have me as their teacher. I don't say it to brag, if anything, its to explain myself. I don't think I am deserving of those words. If anything, I think back to all the moments, the times when I felt so inadequate and I felt like I was making the wrong choices. In my heart, I'm praying that one way or another that the Lord will cover for me.

And He does more than make-up for my lacking. Instead, He fills up what I lack and further enhances what I do invest and put out there as a teacher.

I won't lie. I do get tired and there are times when I feel like I've exhausted myself and beyond. I have days when I feel like I did not give my best because of my tiredness. But when I look back, there is somehow this magical-ness that happens and my students learn, grow, love. . .

Perhaps this is one of the joys of teaching in His grace.
He blesses beyond what I've asked for.
He stretches and fills in what I feel like I cannot do.

The Lord is good.
All the time.
