I can't believe it's the end of the school year. I have taught here for six months and I have formed a undeniable bond with my students. Many are moving on next year to middle school, and they will be greatly missed. Next school year holds many challenges.
I just keep thinking how I wanted the year to be over, and now its here. I keep wishing away the days. I keep looking forward to the end of the year, to my birthday, to our summer trip, it comes and then it goes. After it has gone I look back and I wonder, where has it all gone? I failed to stop and breathe in the ocean air. I failed to stop and take in my surroundings in my first classroom. I failed to stop.
I can't appreciate today when all I think about is tomorrow. God help me to pause and experience today without thinking about tomorrow. Help me to take the time to realize that this exact moment will never happen again. Lord, I want to slow down because before I know it I will be a grandma.
I am glad I am young. I will savor every moment of my young marriage. I will rejoice for what God has blessed me with today. I will take opportunities to reflect the love of God, now, not tomorrow.
Lastly--away from the subject of wasting time--I pray that these young people some how experienced God through me. I hope I was able to show them love, patience, and kindness while they were here. I pray they will continue to meet people who will reflect the love of God into their lives. I will dearly miss them.
