The day everything made sense...

And then...everything made sense. I understood what I needed to do to be effective in my teaching. Something clicked, by the grace of God. For the first time in a long time, I enjoyed teaching a class. I realize that the method that I had been using before had been usurping my abilities as a teacher, and that I teach better by another way. Yes there is a way that we are supposed to teach department wide, but it also requires adaptation to each individual instructor.

Most likely I am having a very good day, that will later come crashing down on me, but for the time being I am enjoying myself and look forward to a trip to the airport this afternoon. I sometimes forget how much I am impacted by the energy of those around me, and despite the fact that part of the class was boring today, I feel that the students actually grasped what in the world we were doing, for we have embarked on one of the more difficult topics - the subjunctive of the Spanish language.

Despite the fact that there are days in which I wish I had never come here, I realize that I am learning so many good things and gaining so much positive experience that will serve me well in the future, or I should say rather, will serve the path on which I am going. Thank you Lord for such a glorious day! I do not doubt that you have granted it in response to my continual prayers, and I call on you all to talk to our Lord, communicate with Him, speak to Him about your life, but more importantly listen, and He will lead you in His ways, which we cannot always understand, but will ultimately lead us to the most fulfilling lives we could possibly have on the face of this earth.

I am so inspired to write again, and I do not doubt that it is because I have made the Lord a priority once again in my life. God is great, all the time, and we all need to remember this always, for in giving him the appropriate praise and thanksgiving, He will return to us a million-fold. Have faith, the Lord is with you.
