Yesterday was our second "Faith Finders" meeting. We doubled our attendance. Instead of one, we had two. A little girl came. She was so precious! After picking her up from her house, we walked to the building together. She grabbed onto my hand and held it for the four block walk. So sweet!! Lucas told the story of Adam and Eve. Both Caelan and this little girl were very interested. It was great! :)
Today I've been working in my new *First Grade* classroom. I'm so excited! I'll have to take a picture and post it for you all when I'm finished.
I've been thinking, mostly due to the Psychology class that I'm taking, about my personality. I've taken a few personality tests and it seems that I am indeed and introvert and an idealist. Interesting... Although some may look at a personality test and then claim to be a certain way, requiring others to 'deal' with it.... I think it is more a highlight of some of my areas of weakness. Okay, so I'm an introvert. Does that mean that I shut out relationships with others just to stay in my comfort zone? I think not. So, my new challenge is to alter my personality. Now, this may sound a bit rash. I don't mean that I'm trying to be someone that I am not; however, I want to recognize and begin the process of changing.
Here's to a rambling post.... I hope you're all having a splendid day!
Love,
Jo

aww. good to read your blog again. glad you doubled!! :P i haven't been on here in forever! so i had to catch up on all your posts! such fun reading! thanks for brightening my day! love ya girl!
Well, maybe not "weakness" but definately these tests are great tools for self-awareness. Not to mimimize ALL of our need to grow and change, but from what I know,I like you pretty good how you are!:) Glad the crowd doubled!
JO! SO HAPPY YOU BLOG! I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to check any blogs for awhile. What a joy to catch up on your life, I feel so connected!
I hope you and your Momma are feeling better, and I'm glad to hear your class doubled. What a blessing to plan on reaching out to your community, but end up getting to reach people you will have such tremendous influence on, like your family, it's like doubling your efforts!(an opportunity you may not have had if you hadn't started a "club" for kids.)
I agree with Kim, I like you just the way you are. Then again, "how you are" is a thoughtful person who is willing to make changes when you see they are needed. So I'll pray that Jesus will give wisdom to know just what those changes should be.
If your crowd keeps doubling, you'll have an "overflow" in just a few weeks!! :-) I'm happy, and we're "stocking up" for more goody bags. (It's quite fun to go shopping at the new Dollar Tree!!) :-)
You are such a precious friend! May God bless you in all you do this week!!
Jo;
I was telling Matt that your crowd doubled in a week and he said to tell you if you kept that up for 30 weeks you'd have a millions kids in your services. So I wonder if Becca is willing to make 1 Million goody bags? :)
I enjoyed your post and the comments! It's sooooo goooood to be in touch, to know a little more about how life is for you, what you're learning that might help me in my walk. Blogging is such a blessing that way.
If you guys ever want to borrow my A Beka story cards(the big picture cards)please let me know! I have their whole set.
I'm looking forward to seeing the 1st grade room. Does that mean you won't be the NCLB reading specialist, but you'll teach 1st grade next fall?
