Thank You

April 18, 2008

About an hour before my teaching observation yesterday, my nervousness was replaced with this amazing sense of peace.

“Yeah!” said Amanda as I drove to the school. “That is the peace of the Lord.”

Oh. Right.

The thing is – I could really tell people were praying for me. More than just Hugh and Amanda. I got some emails from people saying they were going to be praying for me…and…well, I could TELL.

Something supernatural happened – because I was a complete spaz all week, and then yesterday I was fine.

My observation? In a word:

WONDERFUL!

I am going to use the word again:

WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!

I felt so at-ease and peaceful as I presented my lesson. The students responded. I love all of them already, and I hope they are in my class next year.

I can’t believe it!

So.

If you prayed for me yesterday – THANK YOU so much. I think your prayers may have kept me from a nervous collapse where I started muttering Shakespeare while twitching under a table.

To end this post- I leave you with a line from my lesson yesterday. We discussed iambic pentameter and iambic tetrameter.

Here is an example of iambic tetrameter. I hope it blesses you.

“I will not eat them with a mouse.
I will not eat them in a house.
I will not eat them here or there.
I will not eat them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.”

    Hurray! Don’t you love it when you KNOW people are praying for you? And you want to call them up and say, “I KNOW you are praying for me! Because God is answering that prayer RIGHT NOW!”
    Good times.
