LISTENING ... During my commute to work, I listen to KLove. My family listened to KLove when I was younger, but to be honest, we grew tired of it and we felt like the music repeated too often. Well, now I'm 22 and the music still repeats too often. :) But I can't bring myself to turn the channel. Because (when I allow it) the music/conversation on KLove focuses my heart and my mind in a positive direction before I walk in the door or face my first student. Hard to beat that!
EATING ... I'm obsessed with the Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream that Adam bought me when I was sick! If we keep ice cream in our freezer, it's usually the chreap stuff, but not this time. Not for the sick kid 0:) I'm also eating oatmeal a lot. I've never liked oatmeal before, but apparently my taste buds have changed!
DRINKING ... Lots and lots of water. I try to drink a lot of water at school because it is so easy to lose my voice when I'm talking or yel-- **cough** raising my voice during 85% of my work day. Of course, I have to be careful because a teacher can't exactly get to the little ladies' room at the drop of a hat... sigh.
WEARING ... Work clothes... Like a big kid. It's weird. And I've realized that I own a lot of black... and gray. Too much black and gray! So next time I go shopping, I'm thinking colors!!
FEELING ... Stuffy :) I'm still getting over this sinus infection (or whatever it is) that has made itself a home in my sinus cavities. Whoever you are, you are NOT welcome! I'm also feeling sarcastic. I'm not necessarily in a sarcastic mood, but I'm beginning to realize how sarcastic I can be with my students. I'm trying to find a balance.
WEATHER(-ING?) ... It's cold outside! And we're supposed to get lots of rain this weekend.
WANTING ... Warmer work clothes and someone to write my lesson plans this weekend :)
NEEDING ... Very little. God has blessed us abundantly. I have a to-do list that I "need" to work on; does that count?
THINKING ... I'm thinking through my Unglued moments... I just started Lysa Terkeurst's study, "Unglued." I've learned a lot about myself already. Change is hard. It's rarely something we jump into head first without any reservation or hesitation... But I'm trying. I believe God is chiseling me into a person more like His Son. And as Lysa would say, I'm making "imperfect progress" every day.
ENJOYING ... This stage in life. Someone quote me to myself every day, okay? Haha. I find myself often thinking about what comes next or "Why in the world am I here?"/"Where am I supposed to be headed?" There are always things to miss from the past or things to look forward to in the future, but when all is said and done, I do love this stage. I love coming home to my husband and having "couch time" every afternoon. I love feeling fresh and passionate about my career (most days ;)). I love having alone time. I love the freedom that Adam and I have right now. So, yes, currently I am enjoying this stage in life.
