Long time since I last posted something. Perhaps that is an example of how one most easily keeps a blog while being employed full time! A lot has happened since my last post, which seemed to have taken place sometime around when I was employed again.
I'm working at a school for pre-schoolers and elementary school kids. It's okay. I am learning much however, even when it has been a challenging/angering day. I have had good days and bad days. I am not going to tell you the name of the school where I work, but let's just say it's a good place for me to be right now, even though it has its frustrations. I am so thankful to have a job, and that I can say in the morning with joy: "I have to go to work."
What else is new? My cousin and her husband are talking about adoption. That's so awesome! I have been thinking about how I might be able to help them out because they are selling stuff so that they can adopt a child. They need 10,000 bucks.
Adopting a child is so Biblical. As a Christian woman, I have thought of myself, and all people, as kind of like adopted children. We don't deserve what God has done for us. We don't always know what God know is good for us. According to Jewish Law, God's choice to adopt gentiles was a "heart-choice" even if it wasn't an ingrown, geneological way that gentiles were created. At the time, it was believed that the Israelites were the only ones chosen by God, but because God then also called Gentiles, then it must be that God greatly loves all people!
So, whenever I think of someone getting adopted, or desiring adoption, I am reminded of God's salvation offered to all people, in Jesus Christ. We can be assured that even if we are not special to anyone else, that we are special to God.
I just finished up a course in Spanish 1. It was a good class and a good teacher. I haven't signed up for the next course yet but I would like to as soon as it is available. It starts in late June, I think... I just looked and the class is now open to enrollment. I just signed up. It's from June 21 to August 4, or something. I'm going to tell Lisa and see if she will consider signing up.
