This week has been a pretty trying one. I go to placement. Go home for 30 minutes to an hour. Then, I go to work. The current state of events have made me feel so cut off from my life as I once knew it, and such drastic change never sits too well with me. This morning, to make matters worse, my computer crashed. Again. I had a moment during which time I temporarily lost my mind, broke down, and cried the tears of frustration that have been building up inside of me all week.   I, at the encouragement of my mother, got up by my boot straps and went to placement. If I ever needed confirmation that teaching is in fact what I am to do with my life, I received it today. Sitting at my oh-so-pink desk in the classroom, observing “my” students work, and reading their journals, I could not have been any happier or more at peace. Teaching is my passion. It is my heart. It is my destination! Through all of this, I am reminded of my life’s mantra by Kari Jobe “You Are For Me.”

“You Are for Me”

So faithful. So constant.
So loving and so true.
So powerful in all You do.

You fill me. You see me.
You know my every move
and You love for me to sing to You.

I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never,
forsake me in my weaknesses

I know that You have come now,
even if to write upon my heart.
To remind me who You are.

So patient, So gracious,
So merciful and true…
So wonderful in all You do.
You know me. You see me.
You know my every move.
You love for me to sing to You

Lord, I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never,
forsake me in my weaknesses.
I know that You have come now,
even if to write upon my heart.

To remind me that
I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never,
forsake me in my weaknesses.
I know that You have come now,
even if to write upon my heart.
To remind me who You are.
