New Beginnings

The new school year is underway. As a result I haven’t been able to keep up on my blog like I should. This year is looking like it’s going to be a great year, full of challenges of course.

This year I’ve moved up to teaching high school English and Speech and Drama. I absolutely love these subjects, but it does mean more work. The content is thicker which means I need more time to prepare. Please pray for my time management skills, as I’m trying to get that under control so I can be an effective teacher.

Also, my school in general needs lots of prayer. Again this year, we haven’t gotten the number of students enrolled that we need to keep our budget rolling smoothly. We, again, are just under 200 students. We need at least 200 for budget purposes.

Other things in general too… please pray for me as I deal with a confrontation this week with someone who manages the Speech and Debate tournaments. We, as a school, have run into some conflicts with this person. Since I am the Speech and Drama teacher (and the coach for the tournaments) I have to confront this person at the meeting we have on Thursday.

That is about all for now. Things in general are going well. Matt and I are doing well. I’ve got some pictures of some of the crazy things we’ve done that I will post when I get them on my computer.

Thank you for all your prayer support.
