As the week winds down I inch closer to a real leap in my future. Student teaching begins and I become the teacher for 16 weeks. It is a bit scary but I do find that things will go well as long as I stay on top of everything else in my life. Hopefully over the next few weeks as I write my lessons and quizzes, and probably get involved in writing a test, things fall into place nicely as my content knowledge flows out and I keep those youth entertained. I feel like the biggest struggle will be making sure I am able to support myself on fewer paid hours while spending a large portion of my day teaching and paying to do it.
Another struggle will be making sure that I am supporting my girlfriend as I should, but also working on deepening our relationship in what will probably be less time together. I have faith that our time spent working out together will help our bond grow, but also that our faith will kelp us strong as we try to incorporate our weekly bible study into the chaos we will call life.
With all of the extra commitments in my life I hope that I will be able to spend some time fishing and be able to go outdoors to clear my head.
Tomorrow I will be spending my last free weekday fishing and then that will go on the back burner for a while with the exception of a planned ice fishing trip that I am very excited for.
Over the next few weeks, one thing I am hoping to become better with is the verse Matthew 5:25. Being too prideful is something I struggle with but I try not to be boastful. I think the reason I try to stay filled with pride is because I am without family nearby and I must not let anyone down. I always try to find success and not make mistakes but when I do I find it difficult to give a verbal apology that is heard.
The use of words is a concept I am not used to as I usually go with the silent giving unto others. Hopefully my apology reaches out but I will also become blessed with assistance on this difficult task.
