Despite my (I just need everyone to know that, as I type this Ogles is creating herself and a boyfriend for herself on the wii... my apologies in advance) best of intentions I have once again left you all curious about my life for much longer than I would like. BUT you did all get to see our SUPER fun first day of school. So let me start by elaborating on school. I LOVE my class!! They are so much fun, so much personality wrapped up in 15 tiny little bodies. Miss Weimer's class in never at a loss for things to laugh about or just enjoy. Don't worry though, we get a lot of work do too. These kiddos work hard, and they do their work well. I am constantly amazed by what they can do. This of course is, in no small part, due to the wonderful teachers they had last year. I am definitely excited about what the rest of the year will hold for us in Kinder 2.
In other news.... OGLES IS INSANE! I love Malawi... I don't think I knew, everyday I'm amazed at how much I love it here. I have been beyond blessed IM GFONNA THROW UP!!! I have been beyond blessed by people here. The people that God has placed in my life are excellent. I don't even have words to describe. With all of the wonderful and exciting things, of course, come challenges. As much as I love having my own classroom it's exhausting. Generally by Friday I'm not even sure what my name is, but I really do love it. We've also had some challenges living in a new house and having staff, but I think we're working all of that out just one more part of life here I suppose. Today we had the (un)fortunate pleasure of sending a dear friend off to the states for a while. We're super excited for him, but we'll miss him here. But I believe America will be a better place for having Maguire.
Really I'm just living life. I wake up every morning go to school, love on my kids and try to teach them something in the process. I come home and try my very hardest to take care of O, but she is such a handful. haha!! And at the end of every day I'm usually just tired, but God is teaching me so much through the brilliant mundane, and I'm trying my hardest to listen and to learn all that I can.
So, for now that's where I am... gratefully exhausted.
Until next time...
"Have you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength." Isaiah 40.28-29 (I highly recommend the whole chapter.)
