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
You should be scared of Pinterest. It sucks you in quick.
