Hi! I had a little extra time tonight so I thought I would let you all know how my week has been.  It has been really wonderful.  The last few weeks have been.  I think I have just had a great attitude which has made all the difference.  I read this passage a few weeks ago and it has really stuck with me.  "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you".  1Peter 5:6-7  I have been saying it over and over when I worry or when I think about how much I wish some things were different.  It reminds me that those thoughts don't come from God... and you know what?  It works!  I stop thinking about the bad and  focus on the good.  Something that is simple to say, but often hard to do!  Anyways,  here is what my class and I were up to today...
We are starting to prepare for Thanksgiving! They were really excited when I told them they get to dress up like Pilgrims.  Ha


After school today I finally put up some more pictures in my room.  It feels more like home.  Here is a shot of my wall.  A little something from my Arbor girls.  Do you like it Sarah?



Then I worked on making up a goal paper for my students. We are trying to get each family to bring in a box of food.  I am hoping this will encourage them! 



Ha, Tonight we had some friends over for pizza and then Kristy taught me some salsa moves.   I am working on it!  



Anyways I should probably get some sleep if I want tomorrow to be a good day.  Oh, Spanish class tomorrow, practice... then sleep.  Thanks so much for your prayers.  I think they are helping me a lot.  Love you and miss you all!
