Fall Getaway

So this past weekend I went to a retreat put on by Cru. It was called Fall Getaway and it was great to getaway. A group of students from K-State and Fort Hays went to Salina and spent the weekend praising God and getting connected with Him and each other. It was really amazing. I met so many new people and got to know others more. It was also amazing to get closer to God. I am a Christian and strive to live my life in His image. I know it is tough and I make mistakes but I know God has forgiven me of my sins.

The main thing I learned from this retreat was that the future is a scary thing to think about but with the grace of God and His never-ending power, the future is nothing to be worried about. Lately, I have been feeling scared about graduating in May and not having a clue what to do with the rest of my life. I know in my heart I will be a teacher but where??? I have no idea. At the conference/retreat, God laid it on my heart to serve overseas, in Africa especially. It became really clear when I watched a clip from Invisible Children in Social Studies last Thursday and then watching an orphanage movie at the retreat. The video at the retreat really made an impact on me and really got my heart thinking. Anyway, in a part of the video, this little girl, about 5th grade, said "We were rescued so that we may rescue others." God adopted us and chose us to spread His word. How cool is that????

Block B Funness

The first month of Block B has been insane. I have been so busy doing lesson plans and getting to know future educators in my classes. It has been an adventure getting to see all the things that teachers have to put up with on a daily basis. One of my teachers said that the average teacher makes at least 3000 decisions a day. That's insane!!!! I can't wait though!! It makes me nervous though that if I make one wrong decision I can change the lives of at least 20 students...AHHH!!! Well, I have to finish my blog assignment for Language Arts so I will write more later!!!!!!
