Going on 2nd Year

          I thought I needed to get this entry done before the week was over. Since I started my 2nd year at my job this week. All I can say is God knew what I needed when I started and still to this day. First year, first school was easy and fun. I did have some challenges with kids that made it hard but I wouldn't trade last year for anything. It was so easy compared to my other jobs.
           Summer was challenging and a lot to learn but I got through it. I was also lucky because I had a co teacher who had done it multiple times before. That made it a lot easier too plus it was a fun theme. The theme was camping. I did more field trips then I have ever done for a job. I had two every week. I was so nervous about getting to go to another school for a new school year. It is a whole process and a lot of waiting but I got placed at a pretty good school. We got to pick the school we wanted to go to in the mornings and afternoons but then the final say was from the admin. office. God knew just want I needed to stay focused on my job this year and go around. 

           I got placed at school that is really close to me so the drive is not far. It is like not even 7 mins. away from me. It is literally down the road from me. Without even knowing it, I got placed at the school where I knew some of the families or let's say extended families. Just to make things better, the little girl was in my group when I picked out. I didn't even know that but God did. He knew this year would be hard and I needed a little girl to cheer me up and that makes me cling onto hope. The hard thing though was and still is that the admin. put me at a 2nd charge without asking me. It has been fun so far for the month and a half that I have been there. I have had my challenges already like getting over the truths of things. 

           I have no idea what God has in mind this year. I have tried to figured it out but it is just hard. Why would God be doing the things He is right now? Why would He put me at the school I asked for? Why would He put certain people in my life when all I have done is messed things up with other people? Could He fix some of the things in my life through this job, this year? I have came to the conclusion that I don't care what God has in store. It is a good way for me just to hope and trust in God. God knows what is best for me. While I am letting Him do that, I am just enjoying the time I have now with the children. Seeing every little detail and action they are doing. When you start the year off, already knowing a lot about some of the children, just because of their parents and families, you can have a blast with them and treat them like they need to be treated.

            It would really help if teachers of any kind, not just classroom teachers, could really get to know the parents of the children they are taking care of. That is one of the things I am learning already this year and I know God has more in store for me. Probably more then I want to know and/or admit. Yet I know that it will be a fun 2nd year at this job and I am looking forwards to everything that is in store, now that I know what to expect and I don't have to worry about every little thing. It is hard when you start a new job for the 1st year because everything is new to you and you are learning the ropes all year. Then the 2nd year comes around and you seem like you are a pro at everything. You know I think another reason God put me at the school that He did this year was because He knew I understood everything and that I could just have fun and be real with the children that were there and the parents. 

           God knows more then we give Him credit for at times. Sometimes in the long run or end, it can turn out to be pretty amazing, even if it was hard getting there at first. I am truly blessed to have the job/career that I have now and to be where I am right now too. I couldn't ask for anything better.
