Today marked the end of the fall book fair at my school. I can't say that I am sad to see it go... boy, I am sure relieved to have my library back! Anywho, it comes to my attention this week that although I complain about my job, I really do love it (minus a few ill-fitting children). I have become comfortable with the staff and my responsibilities, however, I do have to wonder what is next with the current state of the economy. I am in a safe career, but I am wondering about what will happen to my school system in the next few years with impending budget cuts that are sooo huge...
It leads to me to wonder as well, how did we get into this crisis?If education is so important, where did all the money go? was it there in the first place? How will my students ever know the meaning of stability or of economic security if we can't even provide them with EVERYTHING that they DESERVE, no matter where they live or who their parents are. I am at a loss and just rambling at this point.
I am reading the book called, Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. It is about God's unrelentless, unfathomable love for us and what that means for us. We never will really understand what God's love is for us, how he loves us, how he pursues us... it's daunting, but also romantic. I like to think that God is the PERFECT lover following, searching, and seeking out my heart, my soul, my whole self. We cannot tell God how to love us, he just does, whether we want him to or not. We can look all around us and see His love if we just open our eyes to it...Psalm 139 was written out of a dark place in David's life, but David chose to worship.
God is hugging you right now, all of us, yet each individually... how comforting to know this as you lay your head to sleep and leave this day behind and coming one day closer to know the fullness of His face... Sleep tight God's beloved child...:)
