In all honesty, these past two weeks have been stressful, overwhelming, and exhausting. Just as we envisioned, we have both been put to the test in different areas of our lives, yet what a growing experience it is has been so far!
Brad is continually advancing in his leadership-training program and will begin learning the steps of what Chick-fil-A refers to as “The Recipe for Service.” This upcoming week, he will shift his service from the kitchen to living out the true servant hood of Christ, as he interacts with the many consumers that pour in to Chick-fil-A each day.
As for me, my experience as a student teacher has been very enlightening as to what the realm of teaching truly entails. With that said, my respect for teachers has reached a whole new high! It has become so clear to me just how much teachers are not recognized for the many sacrifices they undertake within their service field each day and as committed missionaries to our children.
For me personally, this week has been trying and tiresome, however, I am learning to take one day at a time, and rely fully on God’s unfailing strength. I was reminded of that this week as I read this scripture from Isaiah 40:29-31.
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
I am so thankful for the blessing of our family, as both our parents have shown me nothing but love and encouragement.
And as for my devoted husband, he always finds a way to make me smile…
