Somedays are like this....

This picture was taken a month ago, but today was just one of those days that I felt feelings of being crazy, silly, frustration, and having hair that is hard to manage.

~Enter Into the World of 3rd Grade~


The bell rang at 7:50 am and my classroom was filled with 17 excited, nervous, shy, eager 3rd Graders and one anxious, happy teacher. Today was the first day of school. My students this year are so precious. We got a lot accoplished today and it seemed like time flew by! I have high hopes for these little ones and so far the first impression of them was awesome! We shall see about tomorrow. :) Tonight I am worn out for sure.

Two New Activities for Me: Zumba and Shadow Box

Well I have offically completed one class on Everlast Shadow Box and one class of Zumba. On Tuesday I worked out for an hour and 15 minutes. Crazy! Today I worked out again for an hour and 15 minutes. Let's just say I am beat! The Zumba class was a lot of fun on Tuesday. Zumba is a workout that combines high energy and motivating music with synchronized dance movements designed for any fitness level. The routines feature aerobic fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Basically I learned really fun dance moves. Shadow Box on Wednesday is a total body conditioning class that incorporates punches as well as athletic drills designed to get you ready for the ring. Umm let's just say I almost died. :)

Thanks to my cousin Brim and Aylin for getting me motivated to workout. I think these classes will be a great stress relief after a day at work and plus I hope to be in shape. Check back in a few weeks to see if I hang with this new routine in my life. :)

At last, turned away....

Wow! Today was the first day in my life I could not go into church. Crazy, I know! Why you might ask....well the service was full of people hungry for the Lord and due to firecode they could let anyone else in. Kyle, Sherah, Ryland, and I even got a parking space, but yet when we got up to the doors, we could see people were squeezed in and there was no room. The Village Church already has 6 services because of this very problem. We have a small building, but thankfully the church has purchased the Albertsons to renovate. :)

Our Savior's Love

Last week, beloved Pastor Skip Heitzig of Calvary of ABQ, asked for prayer for his best friend, Greg Laurie and family. The Laurie Family lost their 33 year-old son, Christopher, in an automobile accident in CA last Thursday morning. Christopher left behind a beautiful wife, Brittany, a cute daughter, Stella, and a baby girl to be born in November. From what I have heard and read, the Laurie family believe strongly in Jesus Christ as their Savior. I am in awe of their love and passion to spread the Word. The Lord has really pressed upon my heart to pray for this family, especially Brittany and her girls. I ask that you please pray for them too. Tears filled my eyes and a smile stretched across my face as I watched the memorial service today. The Gospel was preached and I know my Savior is in full control. Christopher did not die, He is Alive with Jesus!
Below are two websites that I encourage you to visit. May you be encouraged and please keep the Laurie Family in your prayers.
