I am very grateful today because usually work is slow after Winter Break. I really didn't expect to find a job assignment, but I did! Not only was it a wonderful 5th grade class, but they needed someone to cover tomorrow as well. So, I now have a job for each day this week as I already had an assignment for Thursday and Friday.
I am also grateful because it is satisfying to have a purposeful job. Students really put joy in my heart. I truly feel blessed to be doing something I believe in my heart God has called me to do. I pray on my way to work that God will use my eyes to see the needs He wants met, to use my ears to truly listen to what the students share (whether it is a desire for help, or reassurance they're doing a great job, then respond appropriately), to use my hands to be of His work and support to the teacher in need, and to guide the words that flow from my mouth that they are encouraging, uplifting, and motivating.
Thank you God that I am invited to serve You. :)
