"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Grrrrr
I'm sorry for not posting anything yet. Teaching school and being married at the same time is proving to be VERY time-consuming. Plus, I was called as the ward choir pianist, which I couldn't turn down but I really don't have time for right now. Though, school will be over in 2 months. As far as next year goes, I don't know what I'm going to do. The school has chosen not to renew my contract for whatever reason (which I REALLY don't want to get into), so I have to find a new job. The question is, do I try to get a job teaching or do I go in another direction? I guess we'll see. I'll try to keep you posted. :D

I admit it, I chuckled at your second sentence. But all amusement aside, I really hope that things work out soon--it's hard to just be hanging in limbo waiting to find out what you're going to be doing!
ReplyDelete(((HUGS))) I hope things turn out looking more up than you could have imagined.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you've check out the blog, but Garrett and I are planning to return to SUU. I'm sorry to hear about your job! I hope you find another one that will be just as fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know about your happiness together.
