Planning and Trusting

Today has been just wonderful!

I am so excited about school for next year! We are moving to a brand new school that is still in the process of being built and will be complete right (and when I say right, I mean like 2 days) before school starts for the 2015-2016 year. I will be teaching with a different group of ladies which I am very excited about, but the best news of all is that I will be teaching, planning, sharing and all sorts of great things with a wonderful Science Teacher! We actually got together today and started planning.

After we met up today, I came home and got straight to work. She had everything typed up and sent to me so I created some posters for our classroom with Silhouette Studio. I think they are pretty darn cute! I also have never done anything like that before. 

I planned with my sweet friend until lunch time when I met my sweet husband at his favorite place for lunch. 

Yes Taco Bell is his very FAVORITE!!

It is usually a time where just the guys hang out, but since I am out of school for the summer, I get an invite too. Which is very nice of them :)

While I was creating my Lab Team Roles, I decided to create an account with TeachersPayTeachers and try to sell some of the things I create this year. 

Here it is! First item in the store! And it's free :)

It was a little tricky to figure out at first. I had to do a little research to know how to convert everything to a PDF, then how to get everything in one document, then back to a PDF. My sweet husband was more than willing to help and I am so grateful. He keeps me from stressing out so much, because he is so patient. 

Which brings me back to the title of this post. Planning and TRUSTING. I can plan for school. And a lot of times I like to plan for school. I like to dream up what it might be like. New kids. Different teachers. Different classroom. WOW that's a lot of different! There are some things I will never be able to plan for. Like class size, a new student on Tuesday, internet not working properly, a meeting with parents...That is where trust comes in. I have to trust that I have planned enough, so that I'll be okay when those surprises come. 

I also have to trust The Lord, that he will equip me with whatever I need to make it through. It is very difficult to trust a lot of the time. Take for instance, right now, I am trusting my husband for a decision for our family. I am trying really hard to be patient and wait on The Lord's guidance for him and our family. I am trusting that The Lord with reveal truth to my husband and grant us peace whatever the outcome may be. 

Trust, it's hard. But it can be even more difficult to plan sometimes. Or to plan and then plans change and we have to adjust to all of that.

God, grant me peace and understanding for all that you have in my future.
