lessons in teaching

The time is here- my 3rd semester of teaching is coming to a close!
It has been a wild ride to say the least. I never thought I'd teach formally, for one. And to be honest, I didn't think I'd still be in Greenville if you had asked me a few years ago. But God has set me on a path that is changing me little by little.

Things I am learning:

Students need structure and discipline. I need structure and discipline.
Patience.
God wants me to listen to Him, be quiet when He talks, and obey what He says.
I am smart.
Be flexible.
Be ready to give an answer for your faith.
This generation is different from mine.
Patience.
God provides.
I am lazy.
I am blessed.
Kids need someone to listen to them.

I hope if you're a teacher that you have a glorious and restful Christmas break! :-)
