Thankful Thursday, never too late!

I know, I know, it's Friday and I'm just now posting my "Thankful Thursday". Yesterday was a hectic for me, so I'm TGIF! Thank Goodness it's Friday!

Today was a good day at school. We had a half day so teachers could work on report cards and work in our classroom. I love these days to lock my door and work in the peace and quiet. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and teaching, but I enjoy catching up on my piles and coming up with new activities to do with my class. There have been several "changes" this week at school and I have been reminded in my weekly Bible Study about rebellion. When you hear the word "rebellion", it seems so harsh and negative and in reality--it is. However, so often we sugar coat our attitude and what we are really doing is rebelling. I have been convicted to confess this as sin and try to be more submissive to the earthly authorities that God has placed over me. Every week I'm amazed at how God uses this Bible study to meet me where I am in life.

We were told today that we had to stay until 3:30 to work in our classrooms, but we received an e-mail this morning and we were told we could leave at 1:30. I always have great intentions on leaving early, but I can get so much done when my students aren't in the classroom. I didn't leave till almost 3, but I'm ready to go for Monday morning!

This week I'm thankful for: earthly authorities in my life; Bible Study; friends that pray for you; school leadership that let us leave earlier today; the WEEKEND!
