It is something I want more of in every area of my life. In my wants, dreams, the way I think, everything. I feel super convicted about my lack of it at times. I continue to replay scenarios of when I could have been more patient with some of my sweet first graders (usually the ones who tend to push my buttons). I am realizing (on a daily basis) how much I need the Lord to guide me, in everything. I cannot truly be patient on my own; I desperately need him to work through me in this way. I'm totally not trying to be depressing, just honest and letting out something I want and NEED to work on.
Ecclesiastes 7:8
Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride.
In other news, I am nearly done Christmas shopping, you bet. I love having presents wrapped under the tree and ready for family and friends. I am also super excited for break. Of course, there will be 8,000 things I want to get done, but it will be wonderful nonetheless.
I've been asked lately where my love for owls came from. I truly don't know, but I continue to find them on aprons, ornaments, name tags, and nearly everything in my classroom. I'm sure there are a ton of owl things on pintrest; hence, my fear of getting to involved in the site.
loving life. loving friends. loving the hub.
Love, Patience, and Owls,
Mrs. Wilde
