jesus knows best.

in a weeks of ups and mainly downs, saturday was somewhere along the economical line graph of the stock market crash of 1929. sunday was an attemptive bounce-back in which i managed to do church, target, and some light cleaning and spent the afternoon with some wonderful friends. however, sunday was hardly the black friday that brought me back out of the red.

needless to say, i was completely under-- scratch that, un-prepared for school yesterday. i went in to set up about 20 minutes early, but somehow jesus managed to deliver possibly one of the best school days yet.

for starters-- the kids were amazing. i had a surplus of hugs (heavenly-ordained), a well-paced schedule that still allowed me time to teach, and not just rush to get everything done that i had planned (which i've come to realize is expecting too much out of both them and myself). i have a team of angels that i work with, that are willing to help me out in a pinch, or in this case, a bear-trap. and in the chaos of it all, it never felt like chaos; it felt a lot more like peace.

i think the Lord knows just what we need. in my case, a day to properly grieve so i can get up and keep moving. he takes care of us, in the moment; and what we need for the one following. in letting it go, he taught me that sometimes, that's just all we need to do so that He can step in and do the work He's intended on completing.
