Ugh, I always dread the "first day" of the new school year. I also dread the day we come back on track. Part of the reason I get so worked up about it is that the day is just filled with chaos. Kids are lost and stressed, so I become lost (in my own little world) and stressed. The first day of school almost means a new batch of kids, which terrifies me to pieces, but it really shouldn't, but it always does. In some weird way, I always feel like I need to prove myself to everyone, and I really need to stop feeling that way. Not only is it not healthy, but it's not Christ-like. I truly believe (in my heart of hearts) that Christ has equipped me for this task, until it's over. I seriously need oober prayers for more faith though. I do not believe that Christ would place me in the position He has and given me all the experiences from last year, without equipping me to glorify Him. I just need to trust Him more and have faith.
I'm sure tomorrow will go well, and pass by before I know it, and I'll be excited to be home with Tim and Natty. I just need to stop working myself up.
In other news, Natty is full out crawling - she still does her "commando-style" crawling, but does the crawling on her knees as well. She is also standing up and trying to walk. We are so proud of her, and are amazed every single day. Oh, and she has SIX teeth!!!! She'll be turning 9 months in just a week and a half. We are SO blessed.
