Being taught Patience and Culture Shock in the school system

I have 30. yes I said it 30 second grade boys. God has been teaching me many lessons and one of those is learning that HEY you are not in America within the American school system. So you have to learn how to change your mind set.
Also I had these boys alone for 2 months and God has heard my cry and sent me a wonderful helper! I am now able to interact with the kids more on a personal level and NOT pull all of my hair out. They all are very different and have very different personalities. Eventhough the school is "Christian" just like most people that work or attend the school, they have no idea the true meaning. Christianity is mearly a religion and even more so just a recited memorized lunch prayer and "boring" chapel. Over 80 percent are still Buddhist eventhough they attend a Christian school. I pray that Gods light would shine through me without having to shove words that they do not fully understand down their little 2nd grade throats. Actions speak SO much louder than words. I pray for peace and understanding and mostly a Spirit of love to always be in my classroom.






First semester is over and we are in the offices working with no kiddies right now..needing a brake
We will be on real brake next Sunday and I am going with the fab 5 gals to Vietnam and Northern Thailand to go backpacking. Words can not express the excitement. Blog and pictures to come.
